A Chinese collector has commissioned a six-meter long ink slab that weighs a whopping 18 tonnes.
Ink slabs are used in Chinese calligraphy.
This intricately carved stone features 56 dragons and other traditional Chinese art-motifs. The collector has applied to the Guinness Book of World records to see whether this ink slab can be recognized as the largest of its kind.
