Old Chinese Scholars Rock, partly semi transparent

Chinese Scholars Rock


So called Chinese scholar's rock on a stand. Flat. Partially semi-transparent stone. Both sides carved wit 2 scholars in landscape scene. The natural inclusions of the stone have been used to better work out the scenic impression.

These characteristic miniature rocks have always been treasured among the circles of literati in China for many centuries.

The stone stands 4,2 inches (without stand, simple wood), is 2,8 in. wide and 0.4 in deep. (2 of the image-details look that transparent because a torch was hold near).

Fine condition, no faults.
