This rosewood bookmark has a beautiful engraved design of the Four Gentleman, which are common subjects in traditional Chinese art and culture. The Four Gentlemen, also called the Four Noble Ones, refer to four plants: the plum, the orchid, the bamboo, and the chrysanthemum. 

The Four Gentleman have been depicted in Chinese painting for more than a thousand years because of their refined beauty, as well as the moral characters with which the Chinese literati have imbued them.
