Miniature mountains representing the mythical realm Penglai
Three small, green and white stone sculptures resembling mountains on dark brown wooden bases. The stones have a rough, bumpy texture and varied green and white colors. The bases are carved to resemble tree roots or branches. The sculpture in the center is taller and wider than the other two. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
