About the Item

The HD video and photo #2 provided is the most accurate representation of the color of the actual item. It is a true golden color! Here is something you won't see everyday! This rare wood is called gold camphor wood paper weight. The four treasures of the study or the "treasures" and tools of the scholar are well collected through Chinese history. The four treasures are paper, chinese brushes, chinese ink sticks and inkstones. The complete Chinese study set includes many more items. They include such things as brush hanger, paperweights and seals. The wood itself is from Burma. Since China borders Burma, many top materials like Jade, gems and exotic woods are imported to make special items. This pair of wood paper weights used by Chinese scholars are in that special category. This kind of material is rare and not easy to find. A custom presentation box is included. If you want something special to collect, this is it. Please enjoy the many HD photos. Pair 427 grams 28.5x4.5x2.5 cm or about 11x1.75x1 inches (each) We are 3rd going on 4th generation in the jewelry business. You would expect that many of our items to be described accurately and the real items will look better than any photos we can take. You can buy with confidence. Thank you for your consideration.
