Context:
|
The grain of this large brush holder is strongly figured in a shape suggesting some type of animal. Unusual markings such as this were highly valued by the literati. As with convoluted t'ai-hu garden rocks, root furniture, or burlwood patterns, there was a high appreciation for qualities of abstraction found in nature. |
