Description:
The inkstone is arched and rectangular, like a regular roof tile. The gourd-shaped ink-face glides in the upper part to form a 1.5cm deep inkwell. Above the ink-face in the middle, an inscription of six characters in zhuan-shu (seal style) is chased: a treasure belongs to Qianlong for examination and amusement. There are three other inscription chased on three corners. The zhuan-shu (seal style) inscription in a square stamp on the upper left is a title of a writer in pseudonym or a title of a fictional writing. The li-shu (square style) inscription on the upper right belongs to a literary official: "A treasure prized and preserved by literary official Lin." The li-shu (square style) inscription on the lower left writes: "A treasure prized and preserved by the Taoist priest of Shuijin gong." In addition to these inscriptions, there are a number of stamp signatures that belong to some prominent officials of Qianlong's administration. There is a zhuan-shu (seal style) stamp from the band of WangYoudung, a li-shu (square style) stamp from Li Zhongwen, and a kai-shu (regular style) stamp from Qiu Yuexiu, and another from Liang Xizheng. Besides the inscribed signatures, there is also a poem composed by Tong Bangwei in xin-shu (running style).
