About the Item

A visually arresting tall vertical scholar stone of Lingbi type balanced on a fitted wood base. The rock formation features an elegant slender form of highly sculptural surface with open grottos, qualifying the type as the Linglong Lingbi. Enhanced from its natural form with further mindful carving, Linglong Lingbi allures the viewers to linger their eyes on its fine textural and spatial intricacy, thus evoking a meditative and poetic feeling. The greyish black stone is beautifully contrasted with scattered white striations embedded in the body. Extraordinarily slender with a subtle S-shape curve, the form is reminiscent of an ancient tree trunk bended in the wind. The surface has an oily wax texture, and its furrows and folds add more drama to its exotic appearance. The stone has a beautiful ringing tone when knocked, a character of Lingbi stones. The naturally weathered stone from Lingbi, Anhui Province were collected and priced by Chinese scholars since Tang dynasty. They were displayed in the scholar's study on complimentary custom wood stand serving as a focal point for meditation on nature and philosophy. The novelty of the shape and unusual cavities that were weathered naturally through ages were highly appreciated as an inspiration for containing nature in imagination.
