Bamboo spring carved hat bucket

Baoqing bamboo carving is a traditional handicraft in Shaoyang City, Hunan Province, known for its exquisite bamboo and green carving techniques. As the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage of this technique, Zhang Zongfan and his students jointly completed an exquisite bamboo spring carved hat barrel work. The technique of bamboo spring carving is adopted, which is a craft of carving on bamboo springs (the inner layer of bamboo skin). Through fine manual carving, complex patterns and perspective effects are created as decorations. It showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Baoqing bamboo carving and a profound understanding of traditional culture. The carved patterns are exquisite and detailed, with distinct layers. Light and shadow penetrate through the gaps of the carving, creating a unique visual effect.
