(古代雕兔小石座）This is a small hand-carved antique stone screen, size of a small table screen, with highly relieved work showing a rabbit in a simple and bold form, looking back, as if looking back and anticipating something new to come, or looking back as if looking after a home for its auspicious meaning. The origin or use of this small stone plaque or screen is unknown at the time of the writing. This piece possibly can date back to Ming Dynasty when the motif of rabbit was seen more often in Chinese architectural woodwork. This piece is part of Shen's Special Collection in Small Stone Objects.
