Overhang
Front of stone, showing overhang.
This rock is reminescent of a "Rock in the Form of Multiple Peaks" in the book; "Worlds Within Worlds, The Richard Rosenblum Collection of Chinese Scholars' Rocks", (figure 53), which is said to "call to mind the needle-peaked views of (Korea's) Mt. Kumgang (_WWW_, p 250)." _WWW_ also shows the frontal view of a Fantastic Rock (p. 224) that exhibits overhanging buttresses similar to that of the front "diagonal" of this stone.
