Description:
his inkstone is made of songhua stone, shaped into an oval. It is brownish yellow and has a girdle-like rim that is grayish green. The inkstone is affixed to a stand at the bottom. The ink-face where ink is ground is a shallow depression; the inkwell has the shape like a quarter moon. A brown, coiled horn less dragon with a stand is sculpted inside the inkwell, juxtaposing the greenish base of the inkwell. A silkworm coils around the stand, next to the head of a lingzhi, a special fungus. The inkstone back has a deep depression, and is decorated with a pattern of drifting clouds and three dragons playing with a pearl. An inscription, "an object of amusement for Qianlong," is carved on the upper end, and another inscription, "a tribute without any personal intention," is found on the lower end. The inkstone cover is also made of songhua stone, and is light green in color. The face is carved with a poem by Qianlong to phrase the white egrets. Underneath the inscription is a picture of egrets in different gestures.
