Mini-Forbidden City makes debut
|
| 8-Nov-2004 - |
A miniature Forbidden City has made its first appearance at the ongoing Shanghai Art Festival. Made entirely of cow's bones, the sculpture is believed to be the largest of its kind in the world, and has been hailed as a masterpiece. Bone carving or sculpting is a traditional Chinese art form. But connoisseurs say it's hard to find any existing work, which can match the sheer size and intricacy of the miniature Forbidden City. The 6-by-8 meter work took 20 top craftsmen more than a decade to complete. Every palace is represented, complete with crane-shaped incense burners and auspicious animals, such as lions and unicorns in front of them. Some single palaces were put on display in the past, but this is the first time the entire Forbidden City has been represented. |
