Chinese Shandong Province Crafts - Set of 2 Chinese Antique-Style Paperweights

These paperweights contain fossils of ancient trilobites, which are called bat stones in China due to their resemblance to bats.

While fossils showing only the body or with closed wings are sometimes seen, fossils in this shape with wings spread open are quite rare, in my opinion.
When lightly tapped together, they produce a clear, resonant sound.

Size: 18cm x 3.4cm x 1.5cm (per paperweight)
Woven fabric case size: 20.5cm x 10.7cm x 3cm
Weight: Approximately 270g per paperweight
