We are now downsizing, so here we have our Antique Japanese carved wooden stand . Standing at a very impressive 44 cm or 1 foot 6 inches . We believe it to be a calligraphy pen painting holder ( we had dried flowers in it ) beautifully carved in 3d relief in what I think is a Bamboo trunk . The carving looks like merchants carrying goods through a jungle on to a waiting boat on the bottom panel, Very nice natural piece with a really nice feel or aura about it . Thank you
