Masterfully hewn from a single, gnarled tree root or trunk, the artist has liberated a dynamic school of Koi fish (carp) emerging from the natural grain. The carving is incredibly detailed, with individual scales, flowing fins, and expressive faces rendered in high relief. Finished with a warm, glossy amber varnish, the wood glows with vitality, highlighting the organic movement of the piece. This sculpture is a stunning example of Asian vernacular art, often associated with Feng Shui principles of wealth and good fortune, making it a meaningful and substantial addition to a coastal living room, a rustic lodge, or a worldly executive office.

Commanding in scale and visual weight, this centerpiece measures an impressive 23 inches wide, 16.75 inches deep, and 16.25 inches tall. It is in great vintage condition, retaining its lustrous finish. The wood exhibits natural checks, fissures, and irregularities that are inherent to root carvings and the aging process of solid timber; these features are not defects but rather integral elements of its organic, wabi-sabi charm. Bring this kinetic work of artisan craftsmanship into your home to add texture, history, and a touch of serenity. See less
