<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KevinTN, post: 251707, member: 4905&quot;]I think it&#039;s a modern wood carving based on the 7 holes (not six from my original post).&nbsp; The holes may have come from the CNC machine or something like that to remove the vast majority of the wood. Also, it&#039;s possible that the woodcarver bought an already seasoned wood blank (circular) that was formed by a lathe. This way, the woodcarver could carefully choose the best piece for the carving he or she had in mind. This would be easier than trying to find a fallen tree, etc. Do they make wood carving clamps that screw in the bottom? Yes. However, I would still consider those clamps modern because I&#039;ve not seen any antique Chinese wood carvings with that kind of hole alignment. However, my search wasn&#039;t that extensive. If I had to choose an answer between modern vs antique; I would choose modern. I cannot give you a definite answer because I&#039;m not an expert in any one field. This explains why I buy just about anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kevin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
