I believe it is Chinese, at least the owner said his grandfather got in in China. It is definitely Asian though it could be Japanese as far as I can tell. I’m very interested if anyone can identify it. I could not find anything even close to it on line. The detail is unbelievable and the way it appeared to be carved using the actual features of the wood as part of the boat is amazing. I also cannot identify the type of wood. To describe it, it is a boat but has trees, branches, flowers growing out of it. It has two paddlers up front and two what appear to be priestess or goddesses riding in the back. It is on a base which appears to go with it, though the person I got it from was not sure. The base appears to be some type of plastic resin. It was very dusty when I got it and I used a nylon brush to get most of the dust out but in the process the tip of one of the leaves came off. I have a specific picture of it. I did save it, but did not repair it. Other than that I see no other damage. See Pictures for details. Contact me if you need any additional information or pictures.
