Vintage Chinese Hand-Carved Oxen & Boy Wooden Sculpture • Based on the carving style and details like the inset glass eyes, this sculpture dates to the People's Republic period 1950's - 1960's. • The marks on the base "73" and an "X in a box" point to Fuzhou Fujian Province for the carving. • The number "73" follows a very specific convention used by state-run export companies like the China National Native Produce & Animal By-Products Import & Export Corporation (CNNP) during the 1950's and 1960's. • This is a classic motif in Chinese art depicting a boy riding a water buffalo, often representing harmony with nature or a scene from rural life. • This piece has intricate details with glass eyes, and both the figure and the animal are finely carved including the fine carving of the hair on the oxen. • These sculptures are made of Rosewood, or Longan Wood. • In very good condition, no breaks or chips, but the is a "drying crack" from age.
