A YELLOW JADE INK REST
MING DYNASTY |
As a fine production duplicated the ancient style, this yellow-jade ink rest was originally designed as a sword ornament, but later used as an ink rest for writing in a study room. Of a form of a rectangle bed with two sides curving downward, the ink rest has a square hole on its back and a frame decorated with a flying hornless dragon in flowing clouds on its front. The life-like image of the flying dragon brightens up the ink rest. This delicate and inspiring stationery can be used and appreciated at the same time on your desk. |
