A CARVED BAMBOO ‘VISITING SCHOLAR’ BRUSH POT
QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY
The cylindrical brush pot stands on three shallow tab feet. It is delicately carved in low relief with a continuous scene, detailed with a scholar in his homestead welcoming the arrival of a visitor followed by his young attendant bearing baggage. Further detail is a finely decorated bamboo grove and tall pine trees growing from craggy mountains. The colour of the surface is of a deep reddish-brown tone.
