The bas-reliefs of Fu-ch'ing, some of which are full of expression (pl. 64a, b), point to a later period of Chinese plastic art, that of the porcelain statuettes produced at Tê-hua 德化 near Ch'uan-chou, and of the wood carvings of Fu-chou, which have flourished from the Ming era up to the present day.
