Description:
The piece overall looks like a goose turning its head on its back. The piece is made of a purplish duan stone with visible white spots, and the design of a goose is inspired by the original shape of the stone. The goose's back is treated as the ink-face, and its joints of both wings form two depressions to serve as inkwells. On the neck area, a hole is dug between the ink-face and the inkwell to allow water flow. The goose head looks back to face the ink-face. A pebble is used to imitate the eye. The body is carved with a feather-pattern. On the back of the inkstone, a pair of webfeet is carved to imitate a paddling motion. In addition, a poem by Qianlong is carved in kai-shu (regular style).
