A WHITE LINGBI ‘GRANDFATHER-GRANDSON’ SCHOLAR’S ROCK MING DYNASTY

formed from two white lingbi stones of contrasting sizes with beige veining, each vertically oriented, the senior rising with fortitude from a single tapered point and overhanging to one side at the top, the smooth surface elegantly accentuated with gentle curves, the junior with a gnarled outline, the pitted surface highlighted with jagged protrusions, echoing the silhouette of a grandfather and a grandson in an organic and personified manner, 18th century wood stand

Formed by two white stones of conforming shapes yet contrasting sizes and textures, the pair elegantly echoes the old Confucian trait of respect for one's elders.
