About the Item
This antique hand-carved sodalite hardstone brush washer is a stunning example of traditional craftsmanship and artistic expression. The washer is of a compressed barrel form, a shape that is both elegant and functional, making it a suitable and stylish vessel for holding water to clean calligraphy and painting brushes.
The body of the brush washer is adorned with archaic decorations of relief carvings and ruyi heads, a nod to the rich heritage of ancient Chinese art. These designs are intricately carved into the deep blue sodalite, creating a striking contrast that highlights the detailed patterns. The use of sodalite, a stone prized for its intense blue color and golden inclusions, adds a luxurious and sophisticated touch to the piece.
The combination of the beautiful sodalite hardstone the intricate carvings, and the traditional design makes it a valuable piece for collectors and admirers of fine antiques and Chinese cultural artifacts.
