Tang dynasty brick impressed lotus, repurposed into a functioning ink stone. Although the lotus is represented in Han Dynasty secular art, this style of lotus is always associated with Buddhism, which would be more in common during the Tang. The ink grinding surface is a little rough but to me gives it a a naturalistic charm, like a lake in the mountains. The scale is enlargements.

This is a molded gray clay brick/tile from the Tang Dynasty, featuring an "Atlas" type Yakshi figure seated on a lotus blossom. I encountered a similar figure during my visit to Taxila, the cradle of the Gandharan Civilization, which highlights the Greco-Roman origins of Tang art. The lotus signifies a clear Buddhist connection. While the left side of the face is slightly obscured, there is no damage. This piece is unusual in that it is smaller than others I have owned...
