Chinese Shan-Shui Boxes
The art of Chinese landscape painting has long been admired for its majestic beauty and spiritual expression. Referred to as "shan-shui" - literally meaning "water-mountain" - these ink-brush paintings feature symbolic images such as mountains (for long life) and water or mist (for happiness and good fortune). Our Chinese Shan-Shui Boxes capture this subtle yet complex art in a refreshing new way. Constructed of finely veined marble, each hinged box is painted with monochrome scenes of misty mountains, water and tiny sailing vessels by Chinese artisans using techniques mastered from years of practice and patience. A perfect gift for anyone with refined taste, these boxes will keep all your small treasures organized in harmonious balance. Purchase seperately, or in a set of 3.
Small (2.5"x 2.5"), Medium (4"x 3") and Large (8"x 5").
The artist has discontinued this set of Chinese Shan-Shui Boxes, only 1 set available.
