This is a Chinese ink stick in the shape of a turtle, purchased over 20 years ago. While it's likely usable as ink, the turtle is considered auspicious and is highly collectible, so it's probably more of a display piece. Ink stick size: Length: Approximately 7 cm Width (widest point): Approximately 4.7 cm Thickness: Approximately 1.5 cm Weight: 22 grams The box has stains on the inner cloth. The back of the box is also peeling. Please check the photos. This item has been stored at home for a long time. Thank you for your understanding. #InkStick #ChineseInk #Turtle #Calligraphy
