Shimen Inscription From the Northern Wei Dynasty, Framed
SOLD!
Design Plus Gallery presents a Framed Rubbing from the Northern Wei Dynasty, as known as the “Shimen Inscription”. This is a cliff inscription in regular script completed during the Northern Wei dynasty, also known as “Shimen Inscription in Commemoration of Yang Zhi from Taishan to Re-open the Cliff Plankway”. The characters were first written by Qinliang Commander Wang Yuan of Taiyuan, then engraved in 509 CE by engraver Wu Aren. The “Shimen Inscription” boasts powerfully rounded brushwork with an elegant, smooth quality, making it a unique piece among works from Northern Wei which usually comprise sharp, edged brushwork. The rubbing and frame are in good condition for its age.
