TEA ROOT CARVINGS.
Fantastic wooden Objects That Arc
Fashioned In the Orient.

Fantastic Wooden objects That Arc
Fashioned In the orient.
The fantastic wooden objects which
come from the far cast and are known
as tea root carvings have long been the
basis OF a prosperous industry in TIE
populous city Of Fuehau Strictly
speaking, the name is a misnomer.
Some Of the carvings are made from
old tea roots and tea trunks. but the
vast majority. nine-tenths at least, are
made from the roots and trunks Of
hardwood trees.
The carvings are almost invaria bly,
made In two parts, a pedestal and one
or more human figures fitted to the lat
ter by pegs and holes. The former is
made from a root and the latter from q
trunk. The roots are selected with con-
siderable care. They must be compare
lively free from dry rot, decay and
worm holes and must possess a rude
symmetry. They are cleaned, scrub
bed and scrapc,' and sawed to about
the desired size; then the artist with
chiscl, gouge. knife and pinchers re-
moves rootlets and roots until the fig-
IRE Is completed.
The simplest design is a three legged
pedestal, OF which the base Is rough
cylinder of wens and knobs. Any num-
Der Of legs may be used. \ curious
specimen seen by the writer in the
Grand hotel, Yokohama, has fifty legs,
while the body has been SO treated as
TO suggest a horny centiped. A second
type of pedestal is the mushroom. A
third type is an animal form. such as
the buffalo. tiger, unicorn. elephant or
dragon.
Nearly always The chlsel Is guided by
humor or satire, If it be saint who
is depicted, the look Of piety or suffer.
