In northern China, radish and Chinese cabbage are the winter staples, beloved for generations. During the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), skilled artisans transformed their affection for these humble vegetables into stunning ivory carvings. The works of art have stood the test of time, with lifelike leaves and veins still as fresh and vivid as they were centuries ago. You can find the ivory mooli and Chinese cabbage on display at Henan Museum.
