清十八世紀 竹雕秀竹題詩筆筒

the irregularly shaped body conforming with the natural form of the root, the exterior decorated with raised nodes and textured burls, carved in low relief with gnarled bamboo shoots issuing clusters of long leaves alongside a poetical inscription in cursive script, the smooth patina of a warm golden-brown colour

此筆筒利用天然蟲蛀及因積水變質發黑之竹根雕製而成，作品古拙有味，「仲謙製」應為後人偽託。
