清 白玉高仕圖五峰筆山

carved in low relief with a scholar walking towards a jagged rock issuing bamboo, followed by a deer beside lingzhi shrubs, the back centred with a short inscription

The brushrest is in overall good condition. There are a few old shallow chips along the edges of the base and possibly light polishing to the ends. Some cracks are most likely original to the stone carving. The brushrest is somewhat celadon and less yellow than the catalogue photo.
