Dahua Meditation Stone

Elevated on a wood base, this dahua stone is displayed as a traditional scholars' rock. Meditating on the stone’s unique composition, the scholar found inspiration in the stone’s complexities as a microcosm of the universe. Dahua stones such as this are dredged from the depths of the Red River in China's Guangxi province, where a silt-laden current naturally polishes each stone and deposits layers of strata over time. Prized for its density and warm undertones, this dahua stone is set in a simple hardwood base that balances its expressive veining and asymmetrical form.
