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, LARGE CABINET, piece has two outdoor, country scenes: one side is a hillside and meadow with shrubs and trees below a grayish sky; while the other side is a meadow with shrubsand trees. They look like paintings from Chinese murals or room dividers. They also look like paintings by the famed Impressionist artists of the 19th century. Art in stone. The measurements include the custom-made wooden base.
