About this piece
The longest of the troughs, with the widest, flattest face.
This rough-hewn trough was made in Shanxi Province, China, in the 19th century. Stone troughs of this kind were commonly used in farm and household settings, for water or feed. A shallow oval basin sits inside thick walls, and the flat back and tiny drain hole show how it was meant to stand. The stone is a pale sand color with fine tool marks and slight surface wear.
About 35 inches long, 19 inches deep and 12 inches high. Wide enough to hold a whole herb garden.
