Pair of ink palettes in the form of the Stone Drum
Two round, dark gray ink palettes with flat tops and sides. The tops have concentric circles with Chinese writing. The writing on the left palette appears to be dense and rectangular. The writing on the right appears to have one character at the top and many below it. There are decorative circles around the top of the sides of both palettes. The background is white-gray with shadows.
