Subject:Help Identifying Shell Carved Art
Posted By: Nick Wed, Mar 21, 2012 IP: 76.108.33.51
Can anyone help me to identify these pieces. They seem to be made from pieces of shell carved out. Really nice. 2 pieces with different writing on them and some sort of stamp/seal. Maybe someone can translate it? Thanks

Visually look more like molded plastic pieces, probably sold as kit for assembly, possibly for tourist.

The woman in front of either temple or poor representation of Imperial Palace in Beijing is rather an incongruous juxtaposition.

Probably 1980s or later.

Good luck,
Cal
