Subject:Chinese boat
Posted By: Jaap Tue, Oct 05, 2010 IP: 213.93.24.226

I have a question about a boat i just found at the addic of my grandma. We were cleaning out the house and found this thing. There are some (i believe) chinese letters on the art piece, i was wondering of some one can translate this and maybe knows some information about the history of this art piece.

holy cow, that's the most ornate thing in that category i've ever seen. the inscriptions are auspicious wishes for good luck and getting whatever you wish for, nothing about an artist, date, or place of manufacture

hi,jaap


thats one nice boat, and if i were the one who made it, nothing less than thousand dollars. because for me to make it, i for sure don't have a job.


aloha,
dennis

yes, the boat is very big the size is 2,60 x 1,50 meter. but i do not know what to do with it or what is the worth of this art piece. I discovered that it is made out of the bones of a buffalo...
