Bald Blind Costumes Difficult Difficulty Elderly Man Figurine Hand Carved Handicraft Handicrafts Ivory Ivory With Staining Sumi Looking Back Old Man Old Men Statuette Visually Impaired

EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century print depicts an elderly blind man, dressed in traditional Asian clothing, standing with a thoughtful expression. The intricately hand-carved ivory figurine, likely hailing from Japan, showcases exquisite detail and craftsmanship. The man's bald head is adorned with a sumi staining, adding depth and contrast to the ivory. He wears a long, flowing robe secured by a sash, and his hands are positioned delicately in front of him, as if in quiet contemplation. The close-up perspective allows for a detailed examination of the textured clothing and the intricate carvings on the figurine. This piece, which may have been used as a decorative accessory or a piece of heritage art, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the unknown artist. The figurine is now part of the vast collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire awe and admiration from visitors. Despite the difficulties and challenges faced by the visually impaired man in the image, his dignity and grace are beautifully captured in this timeless work of art.
