Its surface is excellently polished and thus feels exceedingly smooth. The borders of the concave area are decorated with relief designs in which two facing kui dragons (kui long) are represented against a background of hui wen (key fret patterns). The kui dragon design first appeared in the Xuande reign of the Ming dynasty (1426-1435), and continued to be used during the Qing dynasty. It is usually depicted with an upper lip turning upwards like an elephant trunk. Behind its front leg, the dragon grows stylized, its body assuming the form of a scroll. This form accounts for its other names: floral-styled dragon (hua shi long) or dragon-of-fragrant-grass (xiang cao long). The bottom of this inkstone bears an inscription reading \"shou gu er zhi run, se lu er sheng qing, chi mo yi hao (the real character is actually written in a variant form or yi ti zi), gu qi bao ye.\" It can be translated as follows: \"[This inkstone] has an old age, a smooth quality, a green color and a clear sound. It is easy to absorb ink and is beneficial for a writing brush. Therefore this inkstone is a treasure.\" A seal colophon is at the end of this inscription reading \"Kangxi\" (name of a Qing Emperor; 1662-1722) at the end of the inscription. It is followed by another colophon, but it is too indistinct to identify. According to this colophon, this piece was probably made during the Kangxi period."},{"label":"Title","value":"Rectangular dark green inkstone"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
