More than 200 statues, ornaments and seals that represent the beauty of Shoushan stone carving are on show at the Museum of Prince Gong's Palace. The Shoushan Stone is known as one of China's best four stones used for producing seals, and found in Shoushan village, Fujian province. It is divided into three categories according to its origins, namely tiankeng (field), shuikeng (water holes) and shankeng (mountain) stones. The stones have been appreciated as early as the Song Dynasty (960-1279). The works on display are all shuikeng stones and testimony to the exquisite handicraft of masters from across the Straits.
