Item details

A hand-held carving of a mythical beast, crafted by the seal carver Wu Changshuo from "Dengguangdong" (lamp-light translucent) Tianhuang stone. The stone is highly translucent with a unique form and exquisite, detailed craftsmanship. It possesses a rich, oily luster and is intricately patterned with "red blood-thread" (natural red veining)—an exceptional piece for collection, display, or tactile enjoyment.
