This unique rock can be shown from multiple angles and positions when placed on alternative bases.
For a discussion of similar scholars’ rocks that can be shown in different positions, see Robert D. Mowry, Worlds Within Worlds: The Richard Rosenblum Collection of Chinese Scholar’s Rocks, Harvard University Art Museums, 1997, pp. 169-71, no. 8; pp. 175-77, no. 11; pp. 185-86, no. 18; and pp. 192-95, nos.23-24.
This rock is an exceptionally high-quality specimen of Lingbi, with an attractive homogenous black surface and only limited occurrences of white calcite. The stone exhibits the typical Lingbi luster and texture, and emits a fine resonance when tapped with a metal object.
