the cylindrical body rising to a slightly flared rim, the exterior deftly carved in low relief with a continuous scene depicting various sages engaging in various pursuits in a mountainous landscape set with jagged rockwork and arboured with large pine trees, two elderly sages depicted dressed in loose robes and conversing with each other, another group of three sages gathered around a table with one reading a book, the base of a large work carved with a seal mark reading Shen Junyu

本品筆筒，施陽刻技法，淺浮雕精工而成。此門技法，明末清初甚為流行，刀韻樸拙，線條簡練，隱透剛勁之感，與時之版畫，藝風相通。
