Wood Carving Oriental Fisherman and Buddha

Collectibles : Oriental : Sculpture : Carving : Wood : Carved Wood : Buddha : Japanese : Chinese : Fisherman

 

This is a very intricately carved piece depicting a fisherman with his catch and with a happy Buddha standing with him. There is much detail in the facial expressions, the hair, the clothing and even the scales on the fish are all hand carved. Also what is not visible in the photos are the ivory or bone teeth in the fisherman's mouth. It's very nice!

Sadly, some of the glass eyes are missing. Also there is one break in the wood on the base in the front and there are some cracks in the wood here and there, but nothing structural.

All of that being said this is a very well done carving. It stand 13 1/2" high x 5" wide.
