I was in China on a business trip a couple years ago and discovered this huge carving in a retaurant. The picture isn't great but I thought everyone might enjoy seeing it anyway. I was certainly impressed.

It seems to be a tradition in oriental restaurants to include elaborate carvings in the decor. Even a modest restaurant in our mountain community has some impressive carvings on the wall.

Beautiful! A very good friend of mine taught English at Qing Dao University. He and his wife, now retired from that and back home here in Washington state have hundreds of Chinese carvings around their house. He gave me two door panels from the Qing dinasty for Christmas which depict the royal ballet. They are gold leafed.

PBS series "Antique Road Show" often features old chinese carvings. These equisite pieces are often very old, and elaborately carved in ivory or jade. Amazing to think how the old masters did it without the modern tools we all have now. Thanks for sharing.
