About the Item

A fine pair of Chinese carved hardwood water buffalos on stands. This pair of late 19th century Chinese hardwood figures are superbly carved with amazing detail. They depict two water buffalo who are lying down and humorously each one has a boy climbing on its back. The expressions of the shocked buffalo are brilliantly captured. These finely carved figures have inset glass eyes and the teeth have been made from bone. They both have separate carved hardwood stands that display these sculptures very well. In good condition Circa 1880. Dimensions: W 27 cm (10.6") x D 13 cm (5.1") x H 15 cm (5.9").
