拍品专文

Aloeswood, or chengxiamu or eaglewood, diffuses a fragrance which has made it highly treasured, especially in China, Japan and Tibet. The wood is typically only found in small segments of usable material, which are traditionally pieced together to make small scholar's articles. Thus, the present lot is an exceptional example of aloeswood carving as it is carved from a single piece of wood.
