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 CABINET, piece has two outdoor, country scenes: one side is a meadow with a couple of strange trees and a partially wooded hillside in the distance; while the other side is a rolling meadow with shrubs below a bizarre looking sky. They look like paintings by the famed Impressionist artists of the 19th century or perhaps scenes from the Lord of the Rings. Art in stone. The size measurements include the custom-made wooden base. 6 pounds or 2.7 kilos mass.
