【Material】 Hetian Jade (details unknown) 【Please Note】This item is only listed on Mercari! (Items on other sites are scams. Please be aware.) 【Design】 A landscape painting is hand-carved, making it a piece of art to be enjoyed. 【Use】 "A jade inkstone with Chinese landscapes carved into it. It is a magnificent item, but it is not suitable for practical use. In fact, jade is too hard and too smooth for grinding ink. Those who are considering practical use will inevitably look for inkstones made of stone materials such as Duan inkstones. However, in ancient China, such as the Yin dynasty, jade products were only allowed to be owned by the king. As a status symbol, there are still a certain number of people who seek them. Only jade, among minerals, has spun value over such a long period of time as a treasured item and a symbol of prestige, which is surprising as it has a longer history than gold. The Chuan Guo Jade Seal, which appears in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, is very famous. This item was probably ordered without considering its use. It is a lovely piece of art with the contradiction of being an 'inkstone that maintains pure white' without staining the ink." The above comment was quoted from the internet. - Material: Hetian Jade (details unknown) - Design: Landscape painting - Color: White - Shape: Rectangular Length 18.5 cm, Width 12.5 cm, Height 3.0 cm, Weight 1.8 kg (approximate measurement with a measuring tape and scale) I received this as a souvenir from a prominent person in China. I was told to never let it go, as it is a very expensive and valuable item. (By the way, I am a pure Japanese.) Unfortunately, I do not know its value, including the material. I cannot reveal the person's real name, but judging from their position, I can assume it is of considerable value. As I am an amateur, I can only provide information through images. Please purchase only if you can assess its value after careful consideration. (As it is unappraised, I cannot guarantee the age, material, etc. of the product.) Due to the high price of this item, returns are not accepted to prevent substitution and damage. In the event of damage during shipping, please consult with Yamato Transport. (To prevent trouble, I will keep evidence such as images and videos until shipment.) As shown in the photos, there is some damage on the back, so I have marked it as "slightly scratched or dirty." Please judge my credibility based on my existing listing history. By the way, I am not a business. Thank you!
