In the olden days, such holders were used by the scholars for their calligraphic brushes.
Today, we chose to use them to organise the cutlery.
The holder's matt surface is painstakingly carved to achieve 2 delicate layers.
Each side tells a story.
On one side, we see an old man hurrying in a journey with a basket full harvest, with his grandson. Fatigue but also feeling fulfilled.
Turn over to the other side, we see 2 sages enjoying a game of wei qi (similar to our modern day Reversi) under the Chinese pavilion, surrounded by lush greenery. The old trees that surrounds contain the deep-edged prints on the bark.
Turn slightly to the left, it reminds me of an ancient residence for the rich.
Entrenched behind these settings is a range of never-ending mountains. The effects of the varying shades of the mountains, showing its depth will be best viewed under the light.
