A carved jade brush rest depicts a stylized mountain range with undulating peaks and valleys. The object is presented against a dark, gradient background. 以灰、黑、青三色相間的玉料琢成，作山巒起伏狀。山的脈理，刻如繪畫中批麻皴的線條。略有傷及璺。筆格、又名筆山，因其造形以山巒起伏為最多見，峰間低谷，可以支筆。而山勢崢嶸奇特者，置諸案頭可供臥遊，則與賞玩研山的趣味一致。 Object number: 故玉002909N000000000 Rights: Jade brush rest in the shape of a mountain range, The National Palace Museum, Taipei, CC BY 4.0 @ www.npm.gov.tw IIIF manifest: https://digitalarchive.npm.gov.tw/Integrate/GetJson?cid=1821&dept=U
