A pair of massive reticulated rhinoceros horns
19th Century
The crescent-shaped shell of each horn similarly deeply undercut and hollowed to suggest a lotus leaf rising within the intertwined branches of flowers and gourds, the vines supporting crawling squirrels and the exterior edge of the lotus leaf carved with cloud scrolls (losses, chips); the matrix of each horn displaying an honey brown hue; each with a reticulated wood stand (losses).
