"The Creeping Green Room" is a 19th century inkstone created by Jian Guzhai, a noted Chinese artist. This small, intricately carved inkstone, measuring just over 3 cm wide and 8 cm long, depicts a coiled dragon amidst a swirling cloud pattern. The inkstone is made of black ink and was designed to grind ink for calligraphy and painting, and is a beautiful example of traditional Chinese art. The inkstone is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY.
