"Stone Of Scholar Gong Shi China 19th Century, Ching (or Qing) Dynasty"

Scholars' stone Gong Shi China 19th century, Ching (or Qing) Dynasty.

The tradition of scholars' stones in China dates back to the Tang period (618 to 907). Of all sizes and all shapes, they symbolize in the garden the rock in the mountain or an island in a body of water. This stone is in fact charged with the breath of life because it is a small part of the universe. She is also a source of inspiration.

This gracefully shaped jasper "river pebble" evokes a dream. It is presented on its carved wooden base. This is from the Ching period.
