This is the second listing I have for two of these rare carved Chinese Walnuts from 1800"s to very early 1900"s.Larger Carved Walnut:I believe this to be a 108 Buddhist Monk Carved Walnut. Look closely and you can see the tiny Monks with different facial expressions, some sticking out their tongues, smiling, hands in and out of robes, hands together in prayer Etc. Seams of the nut carved in bamboo branches and leaves.Smaller Chinese Carved Walnut:This nut has carved Monks playing musical instruments, fanning themselves, a large Dragon crawling among the monks who have different carved expressions, smiles, tongues out Etc. What can you find? This is a very rare nut but when musical instruments are being played by Monks and a Dragon is included, that makes the piece even more rare.These authentic carved Walnuts are carved with stone tools since metal tools could not create such smooth and detailed figures of Monks, faces, Lotus Flowers, Bamboo, Dragons Etc. I ask that you go online and research these carved Walnuts and familiarize yourself with authentic 18th Century carvings and much later carved nuts.Condition and measurements: the smaller nut has an age crack along the seam and measures 1 1/2 inches tall and 1 1/2 inches at its widest. The larger but has no damage and is 1 3:4 tall and just over 1 1/2 inch at its widest point.These
