"Hall that Holds the Green" is an inkstone made by Jian Guzhai, a famous Chinese artist of the early 20th century. The inkstone features a stylized design of two dragons, a symbol of power and good luck, and is inscribed with the artist's signature in Chinese. Inkstones like this were traditionally used for grinding ink sticks to create ink for calligraphy and painting. The stone's deep black color and intricate carving are representative of the craftsmanship and artistry that went into producing such objects. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this historic and valuable inkstone.
