A large marble screen for hanging. The marble has a beautiful depiction of group of misty mountains in great distance, a classic example of Dream stone.These “mountains” are formed by horizontal dark grayish dashes in different layers of thinkness and hues that resemble the silhouettes of the mountains. These natural formations on the marble also echo in an amazing way the brushwork of landscape painting and the seeping of ink on paper.
