DISCOUNT ASIAN ART
Reason for discount: This has some stains and dirty marks. Not sure what happened, but I'm selling it just for what shipping cost to get it to the USA and deliver it to you.
This is a very unique form of calligraphy. It's a Chinese character that is made to look like an actual figure. In this case, it's a horse being ridden by a cowboy or cowgirl.
The large character is also a representation of "ma" which means horse in Chinese (also used in Japanese Kanji and old Korean Hanja). Below that is a title "ma dao cheng gong" which basically means "Where there are horses, there is success", or "Horses bring success".
Here's Sandy holding a tiger special Asian calligraphy wall scroll. As you can see, it's a nice large-sized wall scroll that will look great in your home.
This was painted by a very shy artist named Ye Ying-Xing from near Guilin, China. I asked if I could take his picture, but he politely refused with a gesture of modesty. He does not seek fame, and in another gesture of Chinese modesty, he insulted his own artwork, saying that it was not good enough to make such a fuss over.
I think the artwork is worthy, and offers a unique and different style that most people in the west have never seen before (it's even rare in China).
