EARLY ASIAN TIGER INK ART

I DO  NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE ARTIST. I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR QUITE SOME TIME TO GET THE WORDS ON IT TRANSLATED BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE TEXT IS VERY OLD. CHINESE LETTER AND WORDS CHANGE MEANINGS OVER TIME AND ARE WRITTEN DIFFERENTLY IN DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS AND VARY BY STYLE, TECHNIQUE AND HANDWRITING. 

I DO KNOW THAT IT IS INK ART. AND JUDGING BY THE STYLE OF THE WAY THE TIGER IS DEPICTED IT IS COMPARABLE WITH OTHER EARLY AGE SIMILAR ART WORK.

EARLY CHINESE ART IS RISING IN VAUE BECAUSE OF THE DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKE AND DAMAGE THEY HAVE HAD IN THE AREA. ART  AND COLLECTIBLES EXPORTS HAVE BEEN BANNED. INVESTORS AND COLLECTORS ARE SCRAMBLING TO OBTAIN ANYTHING FROM CHINA THAT IS ALREADY OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

I HAVE MULTIPLE APPRAISERS  AND GALLERIES AND 2 MUSEUMS RESEARCHING IT AND WORKING ON TRANSLATING THE TEXT AND FINDING OUT WHO PAINTED IT.

FEEL FREE TO MAKE AN OFFER.
