    Description

    Here is a rare antique ink stone with 2 cranes and pine tree under the moon and clouds. My friend bought this ink stone from a used books store in 1985. It has Chinese calligraphy on the cover and on the back of the ink stone body too. Based on the make year (
    丁卯
    年立秋作
    ) on the back of the stone, it was made in 1927.  It also has a number 69 on both cover and body (
    see last picture
    ).
    The amazing ink stone carved cover has a lot of detail to show the style of raised design (
    see the picture details
    ). Beautiful scene with vivid carving details makes this ink stone very artistic and beautiful. It will make a great gift though. I am selling this for a friend of mine who retired 12 years ago.
