AN INSCRIBED AND DATED DUAN INK STONE
DATED BY INSCRIPTION TO JIAJING RENWU YEAR, CORRESPONDING TO 1522, OR EARLIER
The inkstone is of dark purplish-brown color with two small olive-toned "eyes" in the grinding surface which ends in an arched upper edge beside the well at one end. One of the long sides is carved with a lengthy inscription in kaishu indicating the present ink stone was a gift from the Defense Minister Wugong to the inscriber. The other side has a twelve-character inscription, Jiajing renwu nian chun san yue Yang Yiqing zhi ('noted by Yang Yiqing on the third month of the Spring of the renwu year of Jiajing') followed by a seal reading Peiyuanxuan zhen cang (treasured by Peiyuan studio). The underside is cut with a deep, curved channel from which projects a truncated column, and one of the two eyes in the underside is highlighted within a raised medallion.
