Qing Dynasty Bamboo Carving: Daoist Immortals and Water Buffalo (2000.20.0010)
This collection of forty-two Japanese and Chinese wood carvings and associated materials was received as a generous gift of Mr. Fred A. Freund.
Donated in two parts between 1999 and 2000, the artifacts date from the Edo (1614-1868) and Meiji (1868-1912) periods in Japan and from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) in China. The subject material depicted includes an assortment of human, animal, and abstract images.
