Chinese craft from Shandong Province, one Chinese antique-style paperweight. This paperweight contains fossils of trilobites from the Paleozoic era, and is known as "bat stone" in China because its pattern resembles a bat. While fossils of just the body or closed wings are seen, I believe this fossil with its wings open is rare. When lightly tapped together, the two pieces produce a high, pleasant sound. Size: 18cm x 3.4cm x 1.5cm - 1 piece (Please allow for slight errors due to amateur measurements) Weight: Approximately 270g / 1 piece It has been stored in a closet for many years without being used. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to items stored in a private home. (Although there are multiple items, the patterns vary because they are all natural products, and there may be cracks in the fossils or chips on the edges. Please understand this and only purchase if you appreciate it. Also, if you would like to purchase multiple items, we can offer them at a very low price due to shipping costs, so please comment.) We are also selling many other items, including antiques and vintage items. We offer combined shipping discounts, so please take a look.
