A BLACK AND WHITE YING SCHOLAR’S ROCK
QING DYNASTY (1644-1911)
The composition of the horizontally oriented rock resembles a
mountainscape, boasting a soaring pointed peak at the centre,
culminating to a blunt-nosed overhanging cliff shadowing the valley
below. The pitted surface is formed by deep crevices, hollows and
sharp edges. The stone is of a dark grey tone with opaque inclusions
particularly to the overhang.
