About this piece
The granite-colored one, with grain in the stone like a chunky oat.
Stoneworkers in Shanxi Province, China, made this rough-hewn trough in the 19th century. Troughs like this one were commonly used to water or feed livestock, and stone ones last. It has an oval bowl and a flat back, with small raised ears at the corners and a drain hole low in the front. The stone is a speckled, sandy tan that shows a rough, granular texture, with a slightly warmer cast than the pale gray troughs and a clean, unbroken rim.
About 29 inches long and 13 inches high. A nice weight for a patio.
