Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
This is a modern, mass-produced decorative figure. While it bears the mark of a famous historical Chinese ink maker (Cao Sugong), the presence of stamped Arabic numerals on the base and the overall quality of the casting and painting confirm it is a recent manufacture, likely made of a resin or composite material to simulate a traditional molded ink cake.
这是一件现代批量生产的装饰人像。虽然它带有中国历史著名制墨名家（曹素功）的款识，但底部冲压的阿拉伯数字以及整体的铸造和彩绘质量证实了它是近期的仿制品，可能是用树脂或复合材料制成，以模仿传统的模制墨块。
