I believe one of the reasons you did not receive any responses for your postings was because most of us are reluctant to open any files posted in other sites. You would be better off just posting better pictures here next time.

I hate to destroy your dream that this shell carving painting was made by a famous artist and/or extremely valuable since I believe it was commercially made and without any artist's signature on it.

The title of your painting is:
牧乐
The joy of herding (ox/cow) - the picture of an ox and a boy (the herder or cowboy)

and was made by:
大连贝雕
Dalian Shell Carving Co., Ltd in Liaoning, China
You can find its web site at:

and about its shell carvings at:

The quality of your shell carving picture does look better than the modern one though and it is indeed possible it was made in the 40s and 50s, but most possible on or after 1948 when the People's Republic of China (PRC) was formed.

I would not pay more than $50 for it in an estate sale though. Now of course you may get more money for it in China. Hope this helps. Super
