Description
This rock penjing, named 'Autumn Winds,' features a small deciduous tree meticulously integrated with a dramatic Wucai Lingbi stone formation. The composition, originating from Auhui Province, China, creates a miniature landscape where the tree's foliage cascades gently over the rugged rock face. It was donated by the Shanghai Botanical Garden in 2006 and is displayed at the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum.
