About the Item
A sculptural artifact with commanding presence, this 19th-century Chinese martial arts stone weight embodies strength, discipline, and timeless craftsmanship. Originally used for physical training in traditional martial arts, these weights were designed not only for function but also as objects of enduring beauty.
Hand-carved from a single block of stone, this piece features a refined patina developed over decades of use and exposure. Its bold, geometric form and raw surface texture lend it a modern, minimalist quality, allowing it to stand alone as a striking sculptural object or integrate seamlessly into an artful interior.
A rare and evocative piece that bridges heritage and contemporary design — ideal for collectors, aesthetes, and designers drawn to the poetic tension between utility and art.
