A SOAPSTONE CARVING OF A LANDSCAPE BOULDER
QING DYNASTY (1644-1911)
The carving is of thick irregular form. It is finely carved on both sides in high relief with an idyllic mountainscape filled with a terraced pavilion perched on craggy overhanging rocks above crevices, promontories and pine trees. One side of the carving features several figures crossing a bridge and the reverse side with a figure in a moored sampan partly hidden behind rocky banks under a jagged staircase. The stone is of a variegated orangeyellow tone.
3 3/8 in. (8.5 cm.) long, box, 225 g
