SUISEKI - Item # 1301
FURUYA - ISHI
| Origin: | Furuya-ishi. Wakayama prefecture, Japan. | ||||
| Size: | 23 x 5 x 11 cm (w x h x d) | ||||
| Daiza: | Carved in Japan from a rosewood. Through age the wood of the daiza has shrunk slightly and the stone sits on the top lip in places,
therefore, if so wished it would require a small amount of re-carving to ensure a correct fit, however, it is qute acceptable to display as it is.
| Comments: |
A nice quality antique suiseki in the form of a mountain range with several low, rounded peaks - of note is the dark ochre colour of this stone,
this is quite rare in Furuya stones, which are usually dark grey in colour.
The patina to this old suiseki gives a desirable feeling of age to it and would date it from the early to mid 20th century (Japanese period, Taisho to early Showa). | At some point in its history an old repair has been made to one of its edges and it has some slight flaking in a number of places. Price: |
SOLD, with thanks.
