Antique Chinese Buddha Carved Bamboo Root Caterpillar Emerging Cocoon Sculpture

Antique Chinese Buddha Carved Bamboo Root Caterpillar Emerging Cocoon Sculpture. Very old, guessing late 1800’s but could be wrong, maybe older? Part of my own private collection. Measures 11” long and 5” wide. Pattern underneath shows root system of bamboo. Has a nice patina, very good quality and a rare find. Don’t miss out.
