The screen is of rectangular shape and is carved in high and low relief with a scholar and his attendant crossing a bridge beside a pavilion and a pine tree. The reverse has long poetic inscription. The stone is of an even pale tone. 4 1/8 in. (12.3 cm.) high, wood stand

Notes: The long poetic inscription is read as yu ti song he xie qin tu/gao ge kai chuang fu bi feng/you ren mo zuo xing pian nong/jian bian tong zi bao qin zhi/dong cao ying cheng feng ru song. It describes the scene in which the attendant carries the qin along the river below tall pine trees, while a window in a pavilion opens to reveal the lush green peaks.
