About the Item
A fine Chinese scholar's stone.
Made of nephrite jade from the Hotan (Hetian) region of China.
Scholar's rocks (gongshi, 供石) are naturally occuring rocks that are appreciated for their aesthetic and naturalistic qualities. Examples of some desirable qualities of a scholar's rock include asymmetry, resonance, texture, glossiness of surface, and resemblance to mountainous landscapes.
Together with a wooden plinth specifically carved to hold the stone. The sides of the plinth are decorated with floral carving.
Simply a wonderful Chinese scholar's stone!
