Room I
Carved Minerals
Carved like miniature freestanding scholar's rocks, but from extraordinarily rare and precious gemstone material.
Hardstone carving in the Chinese tradition treats the pebble as a landscape already half-written. Color, skin, and fracture are not flaws but compositional facts. Works in this room are catalogued for material, polish, and the dialogue between natural form and the carver's hand.
