| A scholars viewing stone made from what appears to be soapstone with aggregates of other rocks – different colors of grey, pale yellow, bluish grey and dark streaks. Obvious signs of some tooling to smooth the stone out and bring out the natural colors. The stone is in a poorly carved stand that has been stained a dark red – it would need some more work to make it a stable stand. The stone measures 8 ½” wide by 5 ½” high by 1 ¼” thick. Very hard to estimate a date – we will guess late Qing – early 20th century. A handsome piece that grows on you the more you study the various colors. | |||||||||||
