Carved Jasper picture stone (New Find)

Item Description

Our Chinese sources have furnished us with another striking example of the mineral bounty of their country. This is a New Find of carved and polished jasper picture stone from a less well-known area. This striking, two-sided, CABINET, piece has two outdoor, country scenes: one side is a wooded area with a path below a grayish sky; while the other side is an open area, with an overhanging tree limb and trees in the distance. They look like paintings from Chinese murals or room dividers. Art in stone. The measurements include the custom-made wooden base.
