Featured chinese boxwood? carvings

Hi folks found these interesting looking carvings at a boot sale today for peanuts

sort of carvings mixing into the original wood forms

i've found finer before but haven't seen ones in this form

boxwood ?

each measure about 4 - 5 inches

got a red stamp to the base

not sure of age or who they are of

any thoughts or info appreciated

 

looks like burl root of some kind........... nice though !!

 

very helpful thanks kome

 

MOST UNUSUAL!!! But very nice!!!!

 

I found this on etsy https://www.etsy.com/listing/169460...4ece5b6dc%3A1694607786&organic_search_click=1

 

awesome, thanks laura. been trying to find that one as the google image one led to a dead link

 

I'm going to go out on a large limb, and say your carvings are not bamboo root..

 

A bit of a unique look!

 

appears not ! thanks mate

 

Pretty neat, I’ve never seen any like them.

A bit phallic maybe. How’s it hangin?
