A SOUP STONE CARVED CHINESE CABBAGE WITH CRABS <br/>19TH CENTURY

The pale yellow soup stone is carved just like a cabbage. The roots are circular, the leaves are wrapped in layers, the leaf veins are distinct, and the knife technique employed is concise, presenting a lifelike image. The cabbage is decorated with several crabs grazing on leaves, adding what can only be described as an exuberant vitality. The image of a cabbage generally illustrates an unblemished connotation. And, with the image of crabs, perhaps it works as an even more innocent heirloom to pass down harmonious and wonderful implications.
