No matter what the design, I would be honored to own one of those! I have to admit though, the carving of the woman, her dress/robes looked like they were flowing, absolutely gorgeous!
I remember back in the 60's in Sha Tin ,10000 Buddha monastery. The olive pits carvings were sold as souvenir. I m glad you bring this art alive and well. Thank you for keeping this arts and skills alive.
Many years ago there was an exhibition of Chinese craft persons in a local mall. I was very impressed by the fine quality of what they were offering. My Mon bought a small bottle, with a painting on the inside walls of the bottle, the bottle is about 2cm high and the neck is not 0.5 cm in diameter. I bought an image made from cut out paper, it is about 1 meter by 30 cm and incredible details have been cut by hand on the paper to represent a traditional scenery.
Sure: in the city of Dresden there is a museum called "Grünes Gewölbe" and just search for "Kirschkern". I sm sure there are information in Englisch if you put in the museum's name and "cherry stone with 185 carved heads" (official name).
Intended! Thiefs (big desaster some not too long ago, robbers stole lots of highly valuablr items!) and copycats. You may contact the museum to get details, not unusual.
What kind of olive pit sculpture do you want?

Mad respect to the whole family for keeping the craft alive

So beautiful to see the process. What a passionate family. I hope there will be inspiration for the grandson to carve as well.
incredible. don't let this art die out
I could watch that all day. How cool is that!
Those are absolutely breathtakingly beautiful!
All these craftsmen must be really good lovers, the level of focus and attention to detail....
this is so cool especially hearing how the son is a star and that the dad is very happy
Thank you! This is fantastic
In Dresden (Saxony, Germany) there you can see a tiny cherry seed with 19 faces carved in ❤️
Sorry I just re-read, last counting was 113 faces, though originally there should be much more on it but countings could not find them all
@@katrinlausch3078 any idea what is it called?

@@katrinlausch3078 cool, thanks.
The museum should include a high-res photo or close-up.

WOW
Wish I could buy a piece
I hope arts like this survive. How much do these go for?
