Oriental Black Boat

What is this called? I guess it is lacquered.

 

The inscription is simply 一帆風順 "Smooth Sailing."

 

I wonder if this was a tv lamp ?

 

The boat is a water buffalo horn.

 

No cord or place where a cord was.

Thanks everyone

 

It's a whosagizzie, roughly translated as "sits around collects dust". My guess would be better grade tourist souvenir. I've seen smaller ones a few times, but not one that size.

 

There arent holes at the end ? I thought I saw one in the seat and in the bottom.Where I think a cord might have gone.

 

Just looked at it again. I think its more for decoration. I think any hardware would be in the way.
