NECKE. Bone carving. Technology, and not only

This book is based on many years of experience of a bone cutter and a restorer. It will be interesting not only to collectors and experts in NECKE, but also to a wide range of people interested in art. Those who want to try themselves in bone carving and wood will find descriptions of very interesting technologies and recipes.
Almost all existing books about Necke are considering the aesthetic side, the history of the creation of products, styles and plots. There are practically no literature about what practical secrets are hidden behind the process of creating NECKE. In the book, an extensive material on the art of carving is collected from Japanese specialists of rare techniques for creating NECKE to the northern crafts.
I managed to reveal a number of secrets and technologies that were considered lost, and create modern products in ancient techniques. The reader will be able to find out what a “pop -up carving” is on the bones, how the NECKE with “secrets” is arranged and much more.
Much attention is paid to the issue of authenticity of products. The reader will learn how to distinguish a real ancient little thing from a modern, albeit high -quality, fake. And finally, the book presents the beautiful NECKE samples from the private collection, which were previously unknown to the general public
