                          The carving is of thick irregular form. It is finely carved on both sides in high relief with
                          an idyllic mountainscape filled with a terraced pavilion perched on craggy overhanging
                          rocks above crevices, promontories and pine trees. One side of the carving features several
                          figures crossing a bridge and the reverse side with a figure in a moored sampan partly
                          hidden behind rocky banks under a jagged staircase. The stone is of a variegated orange-
                          yellow tone.
