描述

of cylindrical form raised on three small feet, carved from a single node of bamboo with a horse fancifully rolling on its back while a groom stands and observes, the horse with raised head framed by a shaggy mane, his eye inlaid in dark wood, the bearded groomsman joining his hands as if holding a tether, dressed in a tunic fastened at his waist by a flowing sash and sporting a handkerchief on its head, all deftly carved in shallow relief through the warm chestnut-brown surface to the paler striated golden ground beneath
