Brush Holder (Translation)
黃花梨樹瘤筆筒 清早期 (Primary Title)
Unknown (Artist)
Hollowed from a section of rosewood and sealed at the bottom
with a wooden disk, this brush holder displays the beauty of burled wood and
its warm color. Huanghuali, high-quality hardwood grown in southern China, has
been the top choice for furniture and writing tools, prized for its fine grains,
natural form, and sturdy texture.
