This tiny scholar rock illustrates the Chinese passion for intricate art in miniature, this tradition going back to Han dynasties (206 BC–220 AD). A recurring theme in Chinese art is the reproduction of the world in miniature. This object for the scholar's study evokes the possibility of an escape back to nature; signed Meng and dated 2015 at bottom.
