Chinese scholar’s wooden box carved on the outside in medium relief with a continuous design of of a gnarled pine tree. Beautiful object for scholar’s table, can be used for storing small scholar’s objects such as inksticks or seals. Excellent quality carving - see the texture of the bark on the trunk and delicately carved clusters of needles. I believe the material is called wang yang wood. Wonderful staining, great patina. Width 4 5/8 inches at the widest, height 2 inches.
