Carved Jasper picture stone

Item Description

Our Chinese sources have furnished us with another striking example of the mineral bounty of their country. This is from a recent find of carved and polished jasper picture stone from a less well-known area. This striking, two-sided, large piece has two outdoor, country scenes: both sides are sloping hillsides with shrubs and trees and a striking, large, horizontal, Middle Earth-looking tree in the center, below a gray sky. They look like paintings from Chinese murals or room dividers or like paintings by the famed Impressionist artists of the 19th century. Or maybe a scene from the Hobbit. Art in stone. The measurements include the custom-made wooden base. One of the few polished pieces we sell, because they are just so beautiful at a nice pricepoint.
