◎ Thank you for viewing. (Please also read the profile if possible) ● This is a magnificent natural stone inkstone made of red silk stone, featuring a beautiful natural formation with multi-layered thread patterns and unique ripple patterns within the red color, along with carvings of waves and turtles (approximately 8 inches thick / Lu Inkstone, Shandong Province). A high-quality black persimmon wooden lid is included. It is believed to have been made over several decades ago. The ink grinding surface is fine and hard, but I believe it is excellent for grinding and ink splashing. 【Features and Size of the Inkstone】 ★ Red Silk Inkstone <Thick Natural Inkstone with Wave and Turtle Carvings> (Elegant stone with multi-layered thread patterns and ripple patterns in red color, with a high-quality black persimmon wooden lid, from Lu Inkstone, Shandong Province, believed to be an inkstone from over several decades ago) Inkstone body only ⇒ Approximately 20.6 x 15.1 x 5.0 cm, approximately 8 inches, approximately 2805g Including the wooden lid ⇒ Approximately 20.8 x 15.1 x 5.8 cm, approximately 2960g ● This inkstone is believed to contain a certain amount of silicon dioxide, but the ink grinding surface is strong and finely arranged, and the ink grinding and splashing properties are also good, so I have judged it to be a red silk stone. ● There are some scratches and minor imperfections due to aging, but I believe it is an excellent inkstone in both practicality and appreciation. ● Please note that there may be some differences between the images posted and the actual item due to camera functions and lighting. ● Please understand that it is difficult to significantly reduce the price of this item any further. ● Recently, it seems that some people are illegally copying the descriptions and images of my Mercari listings and selling them at extremely low prices on fake websites, even though they do not have the actual item.
