76 - A Lingbi scholar's rock Lingbi stone has been cherished by literati as a studio object — used, for instance, as an ink-stone mountain (yanshan) — and as a treasured curio, its appreciation exerting a formative influence on the related Japanese traditions of suiseki and bonseki. This is a particularly forceful example, its dark, resonant surface and bold contours exemplifying the type at its most commanding. W: 18.5cm H: 13.3cm China, Qing Dynasty
