Vintage Chinese or Japanese Carved Reticulated InkstoneScreen Suzuri Kenbyo Calligraphy Shodo Sumi-e Four Treasures Scholar\'s Object

For sale is a carved, Chinese or possibly Japanese, inkstonescreen, called Kenbyo in Japan. Traditionally, these were supposed to keep dustaway from the freshly ground ink in an inkstone. Ink stone screens are alsoscholar\'s objects or items, as they were used on a scholar\'s desk forcalligraphy or shodo (or ink painting or sumi-e).

This screen is carved from some type of softerstone, and is reticulated or carved into a web or network of interconnectedshapes. On the front are two carved dragons, chasing a flaming pearl, or hoju,and on the back, there are stylized carved clouds. The screen is in overall verynice condition with no noticeable issues.

Ibelieve this is a hand carved unique piece.It is a heavy stone piece. Based on using Google Lens I was able tolocate a similar one listed for sale on Etsy (where I obtained most of theabove detail) for $166.00.It indicates this would be a 1940’s piece. [link removed by ]
