Carved miniatures

I think this qualifies as a miniatures. It's said to be the world's largest carving. Can't verify that claim. But it is fabulous.

It has all kinds of buildings, landscaping, people, ships, and more. It says it took 4 years to carve. Incredible to me.

Wow! That is some carving job!!   :jawdrop:  That's not something you leave to the glue!  What kind of a blueprint, or vision, did he have before he started?

We have several lacquer cased carvings of this type around the house. We've had them probably for the best part of 30 years and I still find new details. I might add though that this one is somewhat larger than ours! Thanks for the link Selkie.

I get so fascinated with all types of art. I'm not getting much done for all the looking I'm doing these days.

Hmmm?? Maybe there's a lesson there somewhere. Duh!!
