About the work
Brush washers used in Chinese calligraphy are often in the shape of a lotus leaf. It is symbolic of how lotus plants grow out of the mud and onto clean water. This is a reflection of how an ink-stained brush becomes clean after being immersed in the water in the washer. The use of jade reflects its superior quality over other materials such as porcelain, metal, or bamboo.
