Chinese Lingbi Scholar Stone Arched Form on Display Stand
About the Item
A small desk top Chinese scholar stones (also known as Gong Shi, meditation stone and spirit rock) fitted on a hand-carved wood stand circa late 19th century. The specimen is of a black Lingbi type stone in an arch form mimicking a horizontal mountain range. The wrinkles and folds on the black surface were perfectly weathered by elements for millenniums. Smooth and rugged at the same time, the mountain range shows a poetic formation that was often depicted in the ink scroll and conveys a timeless beauty. There are natural scattered white and brown spots embedded in the stone, making it visually interesting to meditate upon. It reveals different views from front and back as well as different angles.
For two similar horizonal mountain shape Lingbi stone, see page 41 and 42 of "Spirit Stones the Ancient Art of the Scholar's Rock" by Kemin Hu and Thomas S. Elias.

Not only in China but also in Japan from ancient times, rocks in the mountains have been shaved and stones for viewing have been quarried. Such stones for appreciation are collectively called "suiseki". Suiseki means "water" and "stone". The name comes from the fact that I enjoyed pouring water on the stones and changing the color of the stones. And this item is also Suiseki, but it is for viewing without splashing water. It is made with the image of a mountain view. The flow of the river...Category
