Pale Green Hetian Jade Plaque: Lotus Fragrance on the Breeze, 48 g

No. This individual piece has already been collected and remains online as a reference. You can ask Yufu Jade to look for a similar material, form or carving subject; any new piece is documented and quoted separately.

Lotus leaves and blossoms fill the front of a short rectangular plaque. The edge close-up shows a concentrated golden skin patch near an upper corner, while the reverse stays smooth. The plant forms invite a close look at the meeting points between petals, leaves and the surrounding ground. Compare these small details with the larger outline to judge the balance of the design. Side lighting is useful for seeing depth without mistaking a cast shadow for a carved line.

The listed dimensions are 50 x 37 mm, approximately 1.97 x 1.46 in. Compare these measurements with a ruler to judge the scale. Listed weight: 48 g. Confirm the suspension opening and any included cord or fittings.

The lotus is admired for rising cleanly above muddy water and is associated with purity in Chinese art. It also has a special place in Buddhist imagery, where it often forms a seat or pedestal. Read this as the traditional subject of the carving, rather than a statement about its age, maker or a promised effect on the owner.
