Clip for Paper with Sage Seated Under a Pine
A carved bamboo paper clip shaped as craggy rocks, with a seated sage in robes gazing upward beneath a pine whose needles spread in fan-like clusters. The rich reddish-brown bamboo shows the grain and deep carving of the rockwork, and a short inscription is cut into the right-hand stone.
Look closer: A carved inscription column on the right-hand rock
