A SHE RECTANGULAR INKSTONE AND COVER

SONG DYNASTY (AD 960-1279)

The flat cover is carved in shallow relief with a court lady dressed in sumptuous robes holding a sheet of paper in one hand and a brush in the other. She stands in an elegant interior, with a low table behind her and a tall oil lamp and drapery tied with tasseled cords at one side. The grinding surface is gently rounded and slopes down to form a water well at one end, all enclosed by a narrow raised frame and raised on short bracket legs. The smoothly polished stone is of an even steel grey color.

6 in. (15.2 cm.) long, cloth box
