= Chinese Puzzle Ball =

The Chinese Puzzle Ball, also known as the devil's work ball (Chinese: 鬼工球; pinyin: guǐ gōng qiú) or the Concentric Ball (Chinese: 同心球; pinyin: tóng xīn qiú), is a unique art form originating from ancient China. These are hollow spherical objects intricately carved from wood, ivory, or jade. Nested within each sphere are multiple concentric hollow spheres, creating a complex and highly intricate structure. Craftsmanship of the puzzle ball demands exceptional skill and precision. A select few master artisans are capable of nesting several dozen layers of spheres, each layer independently movable. Renowned for their extraordinary craftsmanship, these objects are aptly named in Chinese idioms, devil's work (Chinese: 鬼斧神工; pinyin: guǐ fǔ shén gōng) reflecting their enigmatic complexity and exquisite artistry.
