Chinese Carved Wooden Water Buffalo with Rider – Vintage Folk Art Figurine
£20.00
On offer is a small Chinese carved wooden water buffalo with a smiling rider astride its back. Hand-carved from wood and measuring approximately 3 × 3 inches, this vintage figurine captures a traditional rural motif often seen in Chinese folk art. The water buffalo, a symbol of strength and diligence, and its youthful rider have long been popular subjects in regional carving traditions, representing harmony between man and nature. Finely textured carving to the buffalo’s coat and the expressive features of both figures reflect skilled craftsmanship and cultural charm. A fine example of mid-20th-century Chinese wood carving that brings authenticity and warmth to any collection.
