3171 | Here is a heavy duty fork lift pulling the Scholar Rock out of the shipping container
3172 |
|  | |  |  |
| The Scholar Rock is
15' long and takes not one
but two fork lifts to handle.
3173 | | Here one starts to get a
feel for the magnificence
of this ancient rock
3174 | Scholar Rocks are prized for four main qualities:
thinness (shou)
openness (tou)
perforations (lou)
and wrinkling (zhou)

 |  |
| A lot of care must be taken to move this rock from such a
long distance (Vietnam)
without damage
3176 | | The Scholar Rock is lowered to the ground after being removed from shipping container.
