Subject:Inkstone with inscription - artist You Wei (17-18th c.)?
Posted By: TimG Thu, Oct 25, 2018 IP: 73.224.85.64 This is my first inkstone that I have ever come to own as most seem to be fairly obvious tourist quality. Sat in my car overnight to be first in line...hope it was worth it. |

Posted By: mikeoz Sat, Oct 27, 2018 If I might add to I.Nagy's excellent expression, the figure of the carp used to surround the ink well, eludes to the Daoist god or examinations, Kui Xing 奎星, who was depicted riding on a giant fish and brandishing a brush. |

Posted By: TimG Mon, Oct 29, 2018 I like your explanation better than my own. I was thinking it was the leaping carp... “Liyu Tiao Long Men"- a blessing for achievement, but since the carp is not leaping this certainly makes more sense. |
