The Story of the Jin Mao Shi Wang “Peach Heart” Form

Jin Mao Shi Wang, literally translated as “Golden-Maned Lion King,” is a traditional Wenwan walnut form admired for its strong structure, substantial body, and dramatic surface texture.

The name reflects the walnut’s bold visual character: deep flowing grooves and layered ridges spread across the shell in a way that can resemble the heavy mane of a lion.

Within this form, the Peach Heart (Tao Xin) profile is especially distinctive.

Rather than maintaining a completely upright or rectangular silhouette, the shoulders gradually slope inward while the lower body remains broad and rounded. Viewed from the front, this creates a natural outline reminiscent of a traditional peach-heart shape.

The result is a pair that feels visually powerful without being overly bulky—a combination of strong texture, compact proportions, and an unusual natural profile.

Product Characteristics

Broad 44mm Profile

At approximately 44.0mm wide and 39.0mm deep, this pair has a noticeably broad stance while remaining compact enough for comfortable rotation.

The difference between width and belly depth emphasizes the flattened, low-set appearance associated with this individual pair.

Distinctive Peach-Heart Silhouette

The shoulders descend gradually toward the center before opening into a rounded lower body, producing the recognizable Tao Xin outline.

This shape gives the walnuts a softer, more organic appearance compared with the more upright examples of the Jin Mao Shi Wang family.

Deep Natural Texture

The shell displays a dense network of:

• Deep primary grooves
• Layered secondary folds
• Fine natural wrinkles
• Recessed valleys and pockets
• These structures create strong visual depth while also providing plenty of surface contact during traditional hand rotation and brushing.

Broad Base and Balanced Structure

Both walnuts show a broad basal structure with centered natural navels and well-defined seam lines.

When viewed together, the pair presents good visual balance in overall height, width, texture density, and body shape.

Mature Wenwan Character

The dense shell structure and pronounced texture give this pair the substantial hand-feel traditionally appreciated in mature Wenwan walnuts.

With regular handling and proper brushing, the surface will gradually become smoother and more lustrous as the natural shell ages.

Care

For the best long-term development:

• Handle with clean, dry bare hands.
• Brush regularly to remove dust from the deeper grooves.
• Avoid oils, waxes, chemical cleaners, or artificial coloring products.
• Keep the walnuts away from strong air conditioning, heaters, direct sunlight, and sudden temperature changes.
• During the early handling stage, allow the pair to rest periodically in a clean storage bag or case to help maintain stable humidity.

Natural Wenwan walnuts develop gradually. Changes in color, smoothness, and surface luster should occur slowly through normal handling and brushing.
