About this piece
Chiseled stone, with a drain hole stained rust-orange.
This rough-hewn trough was made by stoneworkers in Shanxi Province, China, in the 19th century. Troughs of this type were commonly used for animal feed and water. The shape is a rounded rectangle with a flat back that suggests it was meant to sit against a wall. A neat circular spout opening on the front is stained orange. The stone is a pale, creamy gray with fine pecked marks.
About 29 inches long and 13 inches high. A stone planter that has seen some things.
