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 meadow with shrubs and trees below a grayish sky; while the other side is a wooded hillside. They look like paintings by the famed Impressionist artists of the 19th century. Art in stone. The size measurements include the custom-made wooden base.
