拍品專文

The long inscription appears to have been added much later, according to the last four characters, which read Wu Nanyu ke and may be translated as 'carved by Wu Nanyu'.
Wu Nanyu (1894-1941) was a famous calligrapher and carver of his time and worked primarily with ivory, bamboo and other organic material.
