Grindstone Four-Tower Walnut
Material Category:
Playing Walnut
Place of Origin:
China (Hebei, Beijing)

Protect against wind, dryness and knocks; brush frequently.
Patina Change:
Once it has developed a patina, it takes on an exceptionally vivid 'oxblood red' hue, with a lustre as fine as if it had been waxed.
Cultural& Mindfulness Meaning:
Exemplary specimens of the 'Four-Tower' lion's head variety, resulting from low-pruning or natural variation. The 'grinding stone' symbolises 'fortune turning in one's favour and being honed into a capable person'; the 'four towers' convey an aura of stability, signifying 'steadfastness and a lasting legacy'.
