Description:
A rootwood brushpot, the irregularly shaped body modelled with walls of unequal thickness and conforming with the natural form of a tree trunk, the exterior with naturalistic knots and rippled surface, 20 cm high. The irregular shape and the rough texture of this piece conform to the taste for strange shapes found in nature revered by the literati and would be crafted for use in the scholar's studio.
