Centuries before Gutenberg's printing press, China was developing and perfecting printing processes that remain popular today. This turn-of-the-century printing block from China's Shanxi province finds new life as a wall decoration or a tabletop curiosity. A rich patina cloaks the intricate relief carvings, creating a beautiful texture that demands to be touched. A comforting touchstone, this storied object is a soulful reminder of the natural world near and far.
