EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable carved ivory figure of Kui Xing, created by the Chinese School during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Standing at a height of 13.7 cm, this exquisite piece is part of a private collection and holds immense historical significance. Kui Xing, known as the Chinese stellar god, is depicted in this sculpture with his right leg kicking forward in motion. The grotesque yet intriguing male figurine captures the attention with its intricate details and masterful craftsmanship. It is believed that Kui Xing's raised hand once held a writing brush, symbolizing his association with literature and knowledge. Dating back to the 16th or 17th century, this statuette represents an era when art flourished under Ming Dynasty rule. The carving technique employed in creating this sculpture highlights the skill and talent of ancient Chinese artisans. The photograph itself was captured by eHeini Schneebeli and falls within public domain due to its age. Bridgeman Images has made it available through Fine Art Finder for enthusiasts to appreciate and admire. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported back in time to witness the rich cultural heritage of China unfold before our eyes.
