The ink is made in the shape of a stone drum unearthed in Sanyuan, Tianxing (now Baoji, Shaanxi) in the early Tang Dynasty, hence the name.

The two sides of the drum are respectively engraved with large seal drum script and regular script interpretation. At the end of the Gui size ink ingot inscription, the regular script reads, “Qianlong Jiachen, March, and Sheba Weizu came to visit.”. Ten ingots of ink were packed in a black lacquer box with a gold inscription “Stone Drum Ink” on the lid
Stone Drum Ink appeared in the Qing Dynasty, apparently influenced by the prevailing style of study in epigraphy and textual research. During the Qianlong Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, several sets of stone drum imperial ink were handed down. Ba Weizu signed his name on this ink, neither with the word “minister” nor with the word “courtesy”, indicating that this set of stone drum ink was made for self entertainment
