Carved wooden brush rest — calligraphy holder
This brush rest allows you to horizontally place a calligraphy brush while working, without its tip directly touching the table.
Its irregular reliefs keep the handle slightly elevated between strokes, during ink preparation or a break. This keeps ink residue away from the paper and work surface.
Made of wood, the holder has an organic shape inspired by rock or root formations. It accompanies brushes used for Chinese calligraphy, sumi-e, wash painting, and ink painting.
Information
