Right: detail from the roof of the Chen House- the roof is covered in fantastic shapes of animals and plants, including lions, dragons, and fish.
Left: Bone carving (originally ivory in the 19th century and before) was (and is) a great art form: the dragon detail is about 3/4" wide, and part of a piece over 3 feet in height...
Right: One of the gates inside the Chen House
Below is a link to a quick video that I took mostly because i loved the improvised music that the employee was playing- if I'd thought about it, I would have done some more shots of the house- I didn't relaize how well the video actually took... (Note (9:23pm ET/ 10:23am GZ) I just uploaded it so it may show as not available for a while)
