Mid Century Chinese Carved Harwood Boy Riding a Water Buffalo

Charming Mid-Century Chinese carved hardwood sculpture depicting a young boy riding atop a reclining water buffalo. Finely carved with exceptional detail throughout, including textured hair and hide, expressive facial features, flowing robes, and a lotus-form basket carried by the rider. Executed in a dark hardwood with a rich polished finish, this traditional scene symbolizes rural life and prosperity in Chinese decorative arts. The buffalo is rendered with a lively expression and detailed carving, while the seated figure adds character and movement to the composition. An attractive decorative accent for collectors of Asian art, carved hardwood sculptures, and Mid-Century décor. Condition Report: Good vintage condition overall. Finish remains attractive with light age-related surface wear, minor scratches, and handling marks consistent with normal use. Scattered small nicks and rubs are present along high points and edges. No major cracks, repairs, or structural issues observed. Please review all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
