Item Details
Description
  • Description: A nice old and well-carved brush pot with a very happy horse that is rolling on the ground.

    The bamboo brush pot is very well carved with a rather intricate scene of a man in the forest watching his horse roll on the ground. The carving is very deep and considerable detail. It feels very smooth to the touch and has a lovely aged and warm patina.

    The brush pot also has three columns of very well-carved characters. The first column characters from the right explain the scene and roughly translates to "rolling (or turning) horses". The middle column says when it was made on an autumn day of a specific year; it uses the old way in China to represent the year, which I wasn’t able to decipher, The last column tells us who made it. I am unable to recognize the name of the carver.

    The mouth and base are a hardwood, which has been joined to the bamboo body. This hardwood is brown, and not only serves to protect the softer bamboo, but also serves as a visual frame to the carved scene on the body of the brush pot. On the bottom of the base are three slab feet made from the same hardwood as the base.
