Centuries before Gutenberg's printing press, China was developing and perfecting printing processes that remain popular today. Originally used for printing fabric, this turn-of-the-century printing block from China's Dongbei province finds new life as a beautifully carved wall decoration. The block is intricately carved with a scene of a regal tiger, considered the king of wild beasts, resting beneath a pine tree beside two flitting birds. A comforting touchstone to guests and homeowners alike, this storied art object captivates with its texture and depth.
