This is a magnificent pair of large hardwood water buffalo inlaid with silver wire with a bearded man and two boys riding on each of their backs, carved in China in the late 19th century. The quality and level of detail in the carving elevates this pair above nearly all other examples of what was a popular theme in figurative carving in China in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Dimensions: Height 28.5 cm, Width 27 cm, Depth 14 cm
Weight: 2.42 kg each

Condition: The carvings are in very good antique condition with a lovely lustrous patina. The only damage is to one of the bases where a couple of the tips to the front edge have bee lost, though this does little to distract from these impressive carvings. Please contact David using the enquiry form or directly by phone 07931 370 372 if you would like to see additional photographs or require further information.

Postage & Packing: £15 within the UK. Please contact us if you would like this item to be sent overseas.
