Carved Jasper picture stone

Item Description

A striking and very artistic large example of the mineral bounty of China. 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 - meadows with shrubs and bizarre looking trees below a scudding gray cloud. The sky is flecked light brown and dramatic brown lightning bolts pierce the clouds and strike the trees below! It reminds me of Middle Earth or paintings from Chinese murals or room dividers or like paintings by the famed Impressionist artists of the 19th century. 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. 8.6 pounds or 3.9 kilos mass. We bought some of these years ago and this is the last - have had no good buy on these in China, since then. They usually sell for $500-1000 in the decor world
