«Camel in the shade of the populus euphratica tree»
Painter: Wang Shixin
Material: natural crystal with white inclusions Size: 6.9cm*4.7cm*2.3cm
The inclusions are stacked one after another, like layers of sand dunes rising from the desert.
The painter compares the white inclusions to a sand dune. An old Populus euphratica tree rises from the back
of the sand dune. The tenacious vitality of the Populus euphratica tree is known as the "living fossil tree".
A camel team slowly passed by the Populus euphratica tree, bringing agility to the whole picture.
Populus euphratica and camel are interdependent and show strong vitality in the face of a hostile environment.
They are closely related to the lives of people along the Silk Road and become an indispensable part of the desert system in China.
The overall picture is coherent and clean.
