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 scenes, both looking like a dry African savannah with scattered trees and shrubs. 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. 7.9 pounds or 3.6 kilos mass.
