A Chinese brush pot crafted from a superb piece of bamboo, beautifully carved in relief are horses grazing under a Huangshan pine tree. In recent decades a coat of brown lacquer was applied to the pot to freshen the patina of time. The disaster removed with great care resulted in exposing the lovely grain and colour of the ancient bamboo. The bottom and interior are testimony of its antiquity. Presumably early Ch’ing Dynasty.
