Product Description
This single-inventory listing features the exact pair of Wenwan walnuts shown in the product gallery.
Stock ID MSHT-1408 is a well-matched Maisui Hutou (Wheat-Ear Tigerhead) pair measuring 38.0mm × 38.0mm.
The pair has a compact, nearly balanced height-to-width proportion with pronounced central ridges, deeply folded texture, and a naturally full-bodied Tigerhead silhouette. The surface pattern is dense and vertically layered, creating the wheat-ear-like texture that gives this form its name.
Both walnuts show strong structural similarity while retaining the subtle natural differences expected from an authentic matched pair.

The Story of the Form
Maisui Hutou, literally “Wheat-Ear Tigerhead,” is recognized for the elongated, clustered texture running vertically across the walnut shell.
Instead of broad, open surface blocks, the texture develops into tighter raised folds and deep channels, visually resembling overlapping wheat ears. Combined with the substantial shoulders associated with Tigerhead forms, this gives the walnut a dense and highly tactile appearance.
This 38mm × 38mm pair is particularly balanced in proportion. The near-equal height and width create a compact profile, while the pointed crown and strong central ridge prevent the form from appearing overly round.
Product Characteristics
Dense Wheat-Ear Texture
Closely packed raised ridges create a layered, highly dimensional surface.
Balanced 38mm Proportions
At 38.0mm × 38.0mm, the pair offers a medium-size format with a compact feel in the hand.
Strong Central Ridge
Both walnuts display a clear vertical structural line that gives the pair a defined front profile.
Full Tigerhead Body
Broad shoulders and substantial side walls create the characteristic solid appearance associated with Tigerhead forms.
Coordinated Natural Pairing
The two walnuts are closely matched in overall dimensions, body volume, ridge direction, and texture density without appearing artificially identical.
Care
Keep the walnuts dry and away from rapid changes in temperature or humidity.
Brush regularly with a clean Wenwan brush to remove dust from the deeper texture channels. Avoid soaking, chemical cleaners, and excessive oiling.
During the early playing period, gradual handling and regular brushing are recommended to encourage an even natural patina.

I am very happy with all my purchases and the attention given to each one. This is an outstanding company
Incredible service, I ordered a pair that sadly could not be shipped on account of a website error. Normally that would be a red flag; in this case however, an agent reached out to me immediately, allowed me to pick out an even higher quality pair and included some very thoughtful gifts. I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase and what started out as a mistake will have me returning here first whenever I want to expand my collection.
Class acts!
I ordered my Wenwans about 13 days ago. After contacting this company about a shipping issue they were able to solve it immediately as well as to rush the order. Literally just got mine today and they are absolutely gorgeous and very large! My Pair# is DGM-901. These are my very first high grades ones. Bought some crappy amazon ones for like 6 bucks to practice. I cannot wait to start my journey with these. I highly recommend this company for their outstanding customer service and quality control!
Thank you!
This company is Stellar. I’ve enjoyed the products I’ve Boughten for myself and gifts Ives given.
Love that you have miniature walnuts for those of us who have small hands.
These guys a great. Walnuts are high quality, and what you see is what you get, no random pairs that you may not like.
I've got 5 pairs off of them so far, and none have any flaws: no yellowing, pin holes, worm marks or cracks.
I'm not an expert, but I can't detect any dyes or processing on the nuts I have received.
They get back to you quickly if you have questions or issues.
Shipping is a couple weeks to canada since its off shore orgin. No big deal.
I do wish they would post the weights of the pairs as well in the listings, but this is minor.
I consider Zenwalnut to be the best north american walnut vendor hands down.
The box it came with is great and well made. The walnuts are out of this world. I don’t know how you find a three ridge mutation (Spartan motif) with such a good pairing. Even the basins complement each other, one elavated and the other depressed so they fit together. I highly recommend this seller if you want a reliable place where you can find rare, high quality walnuts. What you see in the pictures and videos is what you get. These are my second pair from zenwalnuts and I love both of them, thank you
The first pair I bought was a pair of minis, Packaging was amazing! Display case, and brushes were all under $100. I've been using them for just over a week. Excellent quality, I have dropped them once on accident of course over concrete while outside on the patio. I was quite concerned, I gave them a look over and no cracks, chips, or scratches were found. I am now looking into higher valued pairs. I will be buying other pairs for birthday gifts and collections. I posted them on FB and will continue to keep updates of the transformation every so often.
