Chinese scholars' stones, or "gongshi," are naturally occurring stones valued for their unique shapes, textures, and colors, often resembling landscapes, animals, or abstract forms. These stones have been prized since the Tang Dynasty for their aesthetic and symbolic qualities, embodying the natural world's beauty and complexity. They play a significant role in traditional Chinese culture, inspiring poets, painters, and calligraphers, and are used for contemplation and meditation by scholars. Displayed on intricately carved wooden stands or placed in gardens, scholars' stones come in various types, including Lingbi, Taihu, Kun, and Ying stones, each with distinct characteristics that highlight their natural origins and artistic appeal.
Size: 7 3/4 x 1 3/4 x 10 in.
