A LARGE ZITAN ‘TREE TRUNK’ BRUSHPOT WITH SCHOLARS, QING DYNASTY
Carved Zitan wood, signed Wu Shi, dated Jimao Year, either 1819 or 1879
China, Qing Dynasty
To one side the exterior of this large and heavy Zitan brushpot is carved with knots and recesses in order to simulate a gnarled section of a tree trunk. In the lower right of this side we find the artist signature and seal. The other side shows a picturesque landscape with a large tree and a footbridge. Seven scholars can be seen studying a scroll and two young disciples are accompanying the literati.
Shape: cylindrical shape

Weight: 2,907 grams
Condition: excellent condition with usual signs of age and use, few tiny notches to rims
