About the Item

Along with paper, ink and inkstone, the brush is one of the Four Treasures of the scholar’s studio. Arguably the most important tool, the brush served as a direct link to the artist’s creative spirit. This unusual calligraphy brush is more sculpture than tool, crafted from the curving horn of a Chinese water buffalo. The horn handle is polished to a smooth, glossy black finish and sits gracefully with a subtle curvature.
