Yang Mei (Waxberries) on a basket

Recently acquired a piece of stone carving depicting a basket full of Yang Mei, a type of fruit produced in China. The artist intelligently used different colour of this Shoushan stone to carve out the fruits with some branches and leaves. The whole piece of carving weighs 10 kg.

The colour of the fruits ranges from pinkish red to greenish yellow. The artistic appearance of this stone carving clearly shows the skills and mastery of the artist in area of stone carving. It is really a pleasant sight to admire the natural beauty of the shoushan stone and the remarkable workmanship of the master who created it.
