Cleveland Museum of Art

Panel from Model Cooking Stove: Fairy Feeding Lingzhi Fungus to a Dragon by Unknown Artist. Rectangular tan-colored stone panel with rough edges, featuring a relief carving. The carving depicts a human figure on the right and a dragon on the left. The human figure, with long hair and dressed in a flowing garment or skirt, holds several objects in their left hand and extends their right hand towards the dragon. The dragon has a long, curved body with scales and a flame-like tail; it opens its mouth as if receiving something. The human appears to hold a cluster of three lingzhi fungus in their right hand near the dragon's mouth. The panel has a gradient background transitioning from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
