Carved from white Xinjiang Hetian jade (nephrite) described as dense, fine and well whitened, this piece retains its natural pore skin - the original, textured surface of the seed stone. A maiden appears within a large lotus leaf, her head tilted and eyes gently closed in a soft, dreamy expression that suggests someone absorbed in love. Listed dimensions are 71 x 40.4 mm and the listed weight is 86.8 g. Ask Yufu Jade for close-ups of the pore skin, the depth measurement and an in-hand photograph.
