AN INSCRIBED LINGBI SCHOLAR’S ROCK

SIGNED BU SHAN (1720-1796), QIANLONG PERIOD

In the form of a rugged mountain precipice, the rock stands on two
points rising vertically, culminating in a flat-topped summit that
protrudes slightly outwards to form a slight overhang. The stepped
planes of varying heights that texture the sides are accentuated by
the deep ridges and the dimpling of the rock’s surface. The stone is
of a dark grey tone with buff coloured inclusions. One lower corner
of the stone bears the inscription, Baiyi Shanfang, followed by the
signature of Bu Shan.
4¡ in. (11 cm.) high, wood stand, Japanese wood box
