Taiwan Cypress Monkey King Pen Rest. "Rising Step by Step" wooden fountain pen not included.

Taiwan Cypress Monkey King Pen Rest Crafted from Taiwan's precious and unique Taiwan Yellow Cypress, this piece is hand-carved to capture the spirit of the Monkey King. Every detail, from the hair and clothing patterns to his expression, is rendered with lifelike vivacity. A protective lacquer coats the exterior, preserving the piece, while the unfinished base allows the natural fragrance of cypress to emanate. A pen rest, or pen stand, was a traditional item for scholars, typically used to display calligraphy brushes. The Monkey King symbolizes intelligence and wit. His image is presented in a meditative pose, holding his golden staff (represented by the wooden pen), adding a touch of cultural sophistication and artistic flair to any study.
