Description
20th Century
3.75" x 2.75" x .25" each
A matched pair of Chinese carved inkstones, each formed from solid stone and detailed with animal reliefs surrounding a circular well. One rendered in pale stone, the other in dark, the pair presents a quiet study in contrast, balance, and symbolism.
Originally used in the scholar's practice of ink grinding, these stones are sculptural objects. Best understood and presented together.
