Chinese Lanzhou Gourd Carving with Macrame Cord on Root Stand Sculpture

About the Item

Chinese Lanzhou Gourd carving with macrame cord on root stand sculpture. Early 20th century large engraved and carved Chinese Lanzhou gourd. Dramatic design with symbols and letters, executed in a delicate technique on the surface of the gourd. It is embellished with a hand-woven silk Macrame cord, symbolizing longevity. Lanzhou gourd carving is a folk art unique to China and has its own distinctive style. This gourd is placed on an antique Chinese hardwood root stand. It is an interesting sculpture, created from a single polished root. The sculpture stands on its own legs and has the most bizarre gnarly and knotty root growth. It serves as a perfect base for the gourd’s display. Condition is good. There is one superficial crack to one side of the gourd (pictured). There are no Macrame frays or pulls. Measurements: total (gourd on root stand) H 20” x W 17” x D 17” Weight: approximately 3lbs.
