The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular gray stone object, twice as tall as it is wide, divided into two equal rectangular sections stacked on top of each other. Each section has raised rectangular border and contains carved symbols, resembling Chinese characters, filling the space. The object has a rough texture and appears weathered. The bottom has three small protrusions, one in the middle and one on either side. The background is light grey with a slight shadow cast to the right.
