Sengge Ragi

Sengge Ragi’s younger brother, as Buyantu Khan, also increased his sister’s fortune.

[5] In 1323, Sengge Ragi held a historic "elegant gathering", which was made unique by the fact that the event was hosted by a woman.

A series of notable calligraphies and paintings were presented at this event, most dating from the Song period, and today there are some fifteen extant works of art that bear either one or both of the princess's seals: the "Library of the Imperial Elder Sister" (皇姊圖書; huángzǐ túshū) and "Precious Plaything of the Imperial Elder Sister" (皇姊珍玩; huángzǐ zhēnwán).

The following year, her daughter, Budashiri, married Tugh Temür, Sengge Ragi's nephew (the son of her elder brother Khayishan).

[8] Several times over, the emperor granted his mother-in-law many gifts, not least in the form of vast sums of money, which she channelled into the construction of her residence, completed sometime in 1330 or early 1331.

[9] Although heavily involved in the collecting of Chinese art and calligraphy, no stamps make any reference to the “Imperial Aunt”.

It appears that in her later years, though her position was elevated and she became increasingly lavish in her spending, Sengge Ragi did not advance much as an art collector.
