This ink cake was created during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty (1795-1820) in China. This ink cake is green and shaped like a coiled dragon. Ink cake (also known as ink block) is a liquid ink made by dissolving it in water and grinding it onto the surface of a square stone, used for painting and calligraphy. However, this precious ink cake has never been used. The inscription on the side of the blue ink cake states that this set of ink cakes was commissioned by Governor Chen Huai of Jiangxi Province. This ink cake box is now in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art.
