About the Item

A small desk top Chinese scholar stones (also known as Gong Shi, meditation stone and spirit rock) fitted on a hand-carved wood stand circa late 19th century. The specimen is of a black Lingbi type stone in an arch form mimicking a horizontal mountain range. The wrinkles and folds on the black surface were perfectly weathered by elements for millenniums. Smooth and rugged at the same time, the mountain range shows a poetic formation that was often depicted in the ink scroll and conveys a timeless beauty. There are natural scattered white and brown spots embedded in the stone, making it visually interesting to meditate upon. It reveals different views from front and back as well as different angles. For two similar horizonal mountain shape Lingbi stone, see page 41 and 42 of "Spirit Stones the Ancient Art of the Scholar's Rock" by Kemin Hu and Thomas S. Elias.
