Hello,my name is Leslie. I would appreciate any information at all, on the language, artist, or if these are part of a series of carvings. They really are beautiful.

Thank you in advance.

These are Chinese, the characters in traditional style, pretty recently made. The one with the bamboo on it is a poem by Southern Song poet Lu You 陆游 about plum blossoms (which because they bloom in late winter are a metaphor for unyielding spirit etc) that is meant to be chanted to the tune of "Song of Divination" 卜算子

Can't see the other one clearly but it looks like an aphorism in four characters

Thank you very much! Leslie
