This piece of ink cake is from China during the Jiaqing period (1795-1820) of the Qing Dynasty. The ink cake was green and shaped like a spiralling dragon. Ink cake (also called ink block) is dissolved in water and then ground into liquid ink on the surface of a square stone, which is used in painting and calligraphy. However, this precious piece of ink cake has never been used. the inscription on the side of the blue ink cake says that this set of ink cake was commissioned by governor chen huai of jiangxi province. This inset box is now in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art.
