| A dense cross-hatching of white striations emphasizes the wrinkles on this small Chinese scholar's rock. The shape of the stone and the red/gold deposits spread across the surface suggest a wrinkled, roaring tiger. This stone most likely was harvested and collected by its original owner during the early 20th century, possibly near the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is an unusual stone because it embodies within its small size many qualities that were sought after by the scholar/collector--striations, wrinkles, an overhanging configuration, a strong zoomorphic suggestion and appeal from several sides and angles. Dimensions including base: height 4-1/2" (12 cm), width 6" (15 cm), depth 2-1/2" (6 cm). | |||||||
