Vintage Asian bone calligraphy brush.  Calligraphy is a
Vintage Asian bone calligraphy brush. Calligraphy is a visual art related to writing. It is the design and execution of lettering with a broad tip instrument, dip pen, or brush, among other writing instruments. In ancient China, the oldest Chinese characters existing are Jiaguwen characters carved on ox scapulae and tortoise plastrons, because the dominators in Shang Dynasty carved pits on such animals bones and then baked them to gain auspice of military affairs, agricultural harvest, or even procreating and weather. During the divination ceremony, after the cracks were made, the characters were written with a brush on the shell or bone to be later carved. SIZE: see attached ruler photo.
