    The mountain-form boulder is carved and pierced to one side with the 'Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove' in a rocky landscape engaged in leisurely pursuits including playing music, drinking wine, and admiring a painting.The reverse is carved with a cascading waterfall that utilises a paler area of the stone. The stone is of a mottled reddish-brown and greenish-white tone with darker grey inclusions.The reticulated, dark brown soapstone stand has been fashioned to cleverly imitate gnarled wood.
    121⁄4 in. (31.3 cm.) high overall
