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, that look like Chinese murals. This is one of the reasons, why they are so popular in China. Art in stone. The measurements include the custom-made wooden base. 6.8 pounds or 3.1 kilos. I normally do not like carved and polished rocks, but I LOVE these things...
