Datang Yushitai Jingshe Bei

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a stone inscription titled "Datang Yushitai Jingshe Bei" by an unknown artist. The stone slab is gray with a darker gray vertical stripe down the center. The vertical stripe contains four lines of Chinese characters in white. The left and right sides of the stone are covered in rows of Chinese characters. The characters on the left and right sides appear to be less uniform and more weathered than those in the central stripe. The stone slab has a rough texture and appears to be set against a plain white background.
