Item Details
Description
Description: An ivory carving of two men playing checkers under a natural bonsai tree. They are seated on the rock which the tree is growing from. Fine detail and signed on bottom.


History: Early in the Neolithic Age, the Chinese ancients already started to use articles made of bones, fangs, and horns from animals along with stoneware, wooden articles and pottery ware. Materials for carving taken from animals are mostly ivory. The animal-mask patterned ivory cup inlaid with pine-and –stone design unearthed from the Fuhao Tomb in the Yin Ruins, Henan in 1976 can be called a representative of the Shang Dynasty ivory carving.
