A carved and pieced ivory mythical landscape
20th century
The long vertical tusk section intricately incised to portray a fecund landscape of temples and foliage surrounding a cascading waterfall, above which the ox herd and the weaver maiden reunite upon the billowing ruyi-shaped clouds of the milky way amid flocks of doves with further temples and foliage enclosed within a small flattened sphere of irregularly shaped thinly-sectioned reticulated lattice.
16 3/4in (43cm) high
