Natalie Alfers

Selected by Natalie Alfers
This is a Japanese 水石 Suiseki. It is sometimes called 盆石Bonseki. Suiseki is a Japanese culture and hobby of viewing stones indoors. It is a popular item among collectors because it looks like a mountain. Suiseki, said to be the pinnacle of natural art, is the essence of Japanese aesthetics. Many collectors display it together with bonsai. The purple stone surface has blue and milky spots here and there, giving it a rich expression. You will never see such a colorful and beautiful Suiseki like a rocky mountain again. The bottom of the stone and the wooden base are glued together.
