    Traditionally Chinese art objects come with a carved wooden stand. But when I bought my late Ming bronze, a few years ago, the stand was missing. Probably lost in the course of time. Since then I've searched for at fitting replacement. Fortunately one turned up at an internet auction. A scroll-end stand carved from Huanghuali wood, 'yellow flowering pear tree', Dalbergia odorifera. A rare tree growing in the Chinese Hainan province. The stand is believed to be from the Qing dynasty, 19th century. 6.0 cm X 23.5 cm X 12.0 cm. Fits perfectly. The scroll-end was invented by the Chinese at the Song dynasty (960-1279) and has been copied ever since. Probably not easy to make. Skills and a very narrow jigsaw is needed. Maybe you can date the stand more precisely ?

      Is it cut or do they wet the wood and mould it?

      As far as I can see, is it cut.
