Victoria Ceramics Made in Japan Figurine Asian Man Playing Musical Instrument
Ceramic figurine of an Asian man playing what I think is a mandolin or similar musical instrument. Black and gold foil sticker label on bottom reads Victoria Ceramics Made in Japan. The only information I can find about this company is that they were active in the export trade during the 1950s & 60s.

Mounted Original Chinese Watercolor Landscape on Silk - by Bīng shí - 冰石
Original Chinese watercolor landscape on silk, Figures & village in mountains.. backed & mounted. Painted by Bīng shí, 冰石, exact date undetermined. (Year of the dragon bing chen autumn moon 丙辰秋月) (1856, 1916, 1976)
15 13⁄16" x 13 ½" ( Painting approx: 12 ¼" X 9 ⅞")
It's mounted onto foamboard, so it's likely to be 1976 since foamcore didn't exist prior to 1957, unless it's an earlier work that was mounted by a new owner post 50s, but I'm going to guess it was painted in 1976 since that's the last Bing Chen year as well as the only one after 1957.
