Description:
The natural elk antler is cut flat at one end to enable horizontal filing. The multi petal of the horn, like the undulating peaks, can be just a pen mountain. Both sides of the wooden base are engraved with gold. The official inscription on the seat reads: “The velvet is long and eight forked. It will fade away without leaving. It will abandon the elk Zhu and look at the spring and autumn. It will become a flower. It will become a stone. It is elegant to offer a pen and Mao Yingben will travel together.” Seal: “Dry”, “Long”. The seal script inscription at the bottom of the pedestal reads: “The angel immortal and the stone friend”, the seal reads: “Look at the cloud”, and the regular script inscription in the 16th year of Qianlong’s reign (1751) reads: “This autumn, when you walk around the mulan, you can get this in the mountains. The shape is like a ganoderma, and you can make a clear offering at the head of the table. The deer shed its horn and even changed like this, but the wooden stone is not different. The Emperor Xinwei of Qianlong’s reign smoothed his understanding.” Seal: “Bide”, “Langrun”.
