Description

Polished ornamental viewing stone of elongated, irregular form, displaying richly variegated olive-green, burgundy, reddish-brown, and ochre mineral patterns. Its undulating upper contour resembles a miniature mountain ridge, with elevated peaks and descending slopes. The polished surfaces emphasize the stone's natural color variations and geological formations. Mounted on an elaborate dark wooden stand with carved scrolling and openwork decoration, the composition evokes the landscape aesthetics of Chinese ornamental viewing-stone traditions.
