Rather unusual late 19th century Chinese scholar’s rock made out of a piece of amber. Did not photograph well. Wonderfully translucent when held against light, can be viewed from several sides and conveys a very good feeling of a weathered surface of a mountain. There is an internal energy in the piece - a combination of shape, texture and color of the material. Very nice rosewood fitted stand. Excellent object for scholar’s table. Height with stand 2 3/4 inches.

19th century Chinese natural rootwood scholars rock in a shape of a leaning rock or a crouching animal. The piece can be viewed from 4 sides, each view giving a wonderful impression of a mountain peak with crevices and conveying the raw energy of the mountains. Root of a tree lacquered red/brown and worn on protruding areas to natural wood from handling. Very clever use of root formation, beautiful warm patina, wonderful piece for scholars table. Height 3 1/2 inches.
