(86.36 x 50.8 x 25.4 cm) (approximate), Ling-pi stone, China, 19th century, This large, upright scholar's rock has a diagonal profile with two large overhangs dramatically balanced on a small foot. The black ling-pi stone is moderately wrinkled and textured drawing most of its aesthetic effect from its powerful overall form. Its size and shape would have made it a focal point in most libraries and it likely was placed on the floor or study pedestal rather than on a desk or table.
