The item features carved peony flowers, popularly regarded as China's national flower. Artists see the work precious partly because of its noble material -- Shoushan stone. Shoushan stone carving art dates back some 15 centuries ago.
The product, the first of a series of "Olympic fine products" made of Shoushan stone, has a limited circulation of 2008.
