Monumental Taihu Stone Sculpture

Taihu stones are naturally occurring limestone rocks native to Lake Tai in China's Jiangsu province. Revered as fine scholars' rocks, taihu stones are frequently used in Chinese gardens to represent the mountains in a balanced landscape along with architecture, water, plants, trees, and flowers. Formed underwater, taihu stones develop intriguing textures owing to the uneven erosion of softer minerals deposited within the limestone. Set in a concrete base, this monumental taihu stone sculpture anchors its surroundings with a sense of texture and permanence.
