This brush holder offers a detailed scene from the Lanting Xu, 'Orchid Pavilion Preface'. It showcases a collection of finely carved figures amidst traditional Chinese architecture, set within a landscape of trees and foliage. The carvings are intricate, creating a narrative tableau that draws from historical or literary sources. The absence of a signature suggests it may have been crafted by an artisan dedicated to traditional techniques and themes.
