Made of natural rock...
And a lacquered carved wooden base...
The stone is therefore beyond the time we know...
The base dates from the 1900s...
Of CHINESE origin...
This type of stone is often found in mountain streams and kept for its aesthetic appeal or symbolism...
It's a strong tradition, as in JAPAN...
This one is entirely perforated by water...
The softer parts have worn away, leaving this piece on display...
The photos don't accurately capture the color, which is more of a light brown...
In good condition, a small dent on a bump of the base, nothing serious of course!
