About the Item
A fixture of the Chinese scholars' studio, the inkstone was among the "Four Treasures of the Study" and was used in calligraphy and landscape painting along with paper, ink and brush. This contemporary inkstone is carved of a solid stone with patterned with swirling strata of rose pink, grey and yellow color. The inkstone is shaped to an oblong form and carved in low relief with a crashing waves motif in one corner. Buffed to a smooth, matte finish, the colorful inkstone finds its place in the modern home as an unexpected soap dish.
