CHINESE IVORY BALLS.
Nothing can afford greater proof of the
patience and perseverance, as well as of the
taste of Chinese handicraftsman than one of
these elegant baubles, each ball being ex-
quisitely carved, and no two alike in pattern,
Each of the balls rolls freely within that which
encloses it, and is visible through apertures
so that however many there be- the beauties
of each can be examined and the number OF
the whole counted. Much time is spent in the
carving Of these toys, for the clevereSt artist
will employ whole month in the execution
OF each ball consequently the labor of two
years is not unfrequently bestowed upon the
production of single toy which is formed
out OF a solid globe of ivory, and has no juno.
ton in any part. The outside Of this globe is
carved i'll some very open pattern, and is then
carefully cut with sharp, fine instrument,
through the openings, till complete coating
is detached from the solid part inside, as the
peel OF an orange might he lOosened with
scoop from the fruit without being taken off.
One hollow ball is thus formed, with solid
one inside of it. The surface OF the inner ball
is then carved through the insterstices Of the
outer one and when finished, is subjected to
the same operation with the first; and thus
