description: An inkstone engraved on five sides with various scenes of a crowd gathered in the gardens of a large pavilion. The inverse of the stone is engraved with the text of the Lanting Xu (兰亭集序; 난정집서), a famous piece of Chinese calligraphy considered to have been written by the famous calligrapher, Wang Xizhi (王羲之; 왕희지), during the Jin dynasty (266-420 BCE). On the front of the stone, a lone scholar, possibly Wang Xizhi, sits at a desk overlooking a pond which makes up the ink well and plain. The stone is accompanied by a padded box for storage, which includes several labels identifying its origin and the text engraving. The label affixed to the interior of the box lid notes that the stone was a souvenir procured on a trip to China, July 20-27, 1991, by "Righteous Mountain" Rev. Eun-deok Choi (義山 崔恩德; 의산 최은덕).
