Ivory carving quail box

[Ivory carving quail box]

Ivory carving quail box, clear, 5.6 cm high, 12 cm long, 4.5 cm wide
The box is carved into a quail shape and covered with feathers. The feather carving is very layered, from the scaly shape of the head to the leaf shape behind. The two tails are pendulous, and the bottom of the box is carved with claws, such as creeping. The edge of the box is hidden between the chest and belly feathers, without any abrupt feeling, which is quite ingenious. The head is slightly slanted, and the eyes are bright. The cheek is carved and dyed with fluff, which is very realistic. The beak is also vivid and powerful. The whole body is dyed, the color is realistic, calm and changeable, especially the white at the feather trunk, meticulous
This box exaggerates the roundness of the quail, which not only ensures the practicality of the box, but also does not damage the authenticity of its shape, reflecting the superb skills of the craftsman, but also represents a realistic style of the tooth carving in the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods
