Ancient Chinese Calligraphy Brush – Wooden Handle with Carving – Bone – Animal Hair (Horse)
Origin & History
These types of brushes were traditionally used for Chinese calligraphy, painting, or as decorative pieces in a study ("writing room pieces").
This unique calligraphy brush originates from China and is at least 20 years old, possibly older. I have owned it for over two decades; given the material and the style of the carving, it was made considerably earlier.
Description
Handle: Made of wood with distinct natural aging and beautifully hand-carved decorations, including traditional motifs often associated with Chinese mythology and calligraphy traditions.
Bristles: The connecting piece is made of bone.
The bristles are animal hair (horse hair).
A decorative and culturally interesting object, typically used in calligraphy or painting in East Asian art.
Dimensions: 52 cm (handle 35 cm), handle diameter 2.5 cm
Condition
Good condition with age-related signs of use and aging of the wood, giving the object an authentic appearance.
