Product code: 1900’s outlet Soapstone Carved Oxen Child
STUNNING 1900's Hand Carved Chinese Soapstone outlet Oxen, Child & Calf~W/Stand. High-end estate sale purchase of the home of an individual who had purchased a lot of her items from a well-known philanthropist, art collector and avid supporter of the New York Public Library and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This piece is hand-carved soapstone with a hand-carved wooden stand that specifically made for it. Dated 1900's. The darker brown marbled with lighter brown and black makes this piece a show stopper. I have looked all over the piece for any breaks or chips and can only feel a little point on the bottom of calf's ear but it doesn't look like a chip. It looks like it is part of how it was carved.
