20th Century Buffalo Bone Fisherman
An imposing sculpture in buffalo bone depicting a smiling fisherman, carrying fish (carp) suspended from a flail and his hand.
The structure is covered with carved, fitted, glued, and then engraved bone plaques. The engraved lines are highlighted with ink and pigments to create relief. The engraving work is remarkable, alternating complex geometric patterns with stylized floral decorations (lotus flowers, cherry blossoms). The lower frieze depicts a lotus pond. A stamp engraved in red ink with two Chinese characters on the underside is an apocryphal mark (Qianlong), indicating Far Eastern craftsmanship from the 20th century, circa 1950-1970.
