ca. 19th to Early 20th Century

Grey-black limestone of horizontal, ridged form, the surface pitted and worked into hollows and overhangs, shot through with pale veins that follow the fractures. Rocks of this type, called gongshi, were set on the scholar's desk as landscapes in miniature. Original fitted stand of dense reddish-brown hardwood, the top cut to the contour of the stone, raised on 4 short cabriole legs with scrolled feet joined by a shaped stretcher; the wood polished to a deep figure.

Size: 5 inches (12.7 cm) H. x 9 inches (22.9 cm) W.; 8.25 inches (21 cm) H. with custom hardwood stand.
