Item Details
Description
DESCRIPTION: Turn of the century hand carved Chinese ivory screen. Constructed from solid teak wood inlaid with bronze spiral design and hand carved ivory plaques with a foliate motif. The jewel of the piece lies at the center with five meticulously hand carved ivory plaques. Each depicting a war scene fought high in the mountains. Deep intricate carvings of suited soldiers donning their "war ready" steed. They all carry weapons: Spears, swords, whips, lances, axes and shields. A massacre is far from distant as soldiers brutally reign down on one another. A distressed flag flaps amongst the terrany as soldiers idlely stand by while warriors battle to the death. Adorned by jagged mountains that reach well above the hazy clouds which loom in the distance. Lush foliage and rock work are incorporated in the war scenes on all five plaques. The reverse features five beveled wood panels which lock in place to hold the plaques tight against the teak. Absolutely a one of a kind piece. Rare
