Mel Babcock Oriental ABC Blocks: a very special item

This is a stunning oriental ABC block from Mel with the traditional oriental base and graphics.  Few were made. this one is absolutely breathtaking and was selected for this auction for its uniqueness.  It would be wonderful in performance or own display.  It is 9 inches tall and the blocks are 2 inches. I particularly liked the way the blocks were outlined in black which I think adds significantly  to the overall aesthetics.  Removed from the shipping carton to photograph.
