A Bamboo "Zhu Huang” Hanging Ornament, L.19th Century

“Zhu Huang”is a technique invented in Qing dynasty, the outer skin of the bamboo is removed. The remaining thin layer of bamboo is then cooked, dried, pressed and then attached to a wood based material. The technique is time consuming and involves a lot of skill.

The front of this wonderful panel is painted with a pair of magpie preening and resting on a camellia branch. Underside is a plain Tie Huang panel with brass hanging hook. Minor old cracks and repair work; otherwise, it is an excellent condition.

Diameter 9 inch (23 cm)
