looks like a very old root carving...maybe,teak...it does not look like bamboo. It is the Japanese god of longevity, Juroujin (also spelled Jurōjin or Jurojin)or the Chinese counterpart, Shou Xing. He is holding a peach or pumpkin gourd. I hope this gives you a starting point for your research. I'll let you know if I learn more & please do the same, for me...I have a smaller, newer one & am quite jealous(;

I wish I could...this is a specialist field & requires a hands on evaluation. I am in the same pickle times 10000, with my Asian art. And, the economy has hit the art world hard, too...good stuff down 40%. Sorry I could not help more...just gave you a starting point.

Aargh...darn site glitch, have to retype. I wish I could tell you more but it is a specialist field requiring a hands on evaluation. I am in the same boat, X 10000 with all my Asian art. And, the market for good stuff is down, I read, by 40%. I just wanted to give you a starting point & to let you know it is not junk & not to just give it away. It may be worth hundreds if not thousands, to somebody...at least in my humble opinion! The Chinese economy was rocking a short while ago & they were buying their stuff back but it is all up & down, now. It may be contemporary, but it is still nice. You need an auction house to look at it..they may give you a free unwritten estimate. Please, let me know what you learn.... via here or also MySpace.
