About This Piece
A seated figure admires bamboo in an oval plaque with architectural border details. One oblique view follows the rounded edge and gives a clearer sense of how the relief rises from the face.
Carving details and what to examine
The framing is part of the composition, so examine its relationship to the central motif as well as the motif itself. Edge and angled views help show whether the border is raised, recessed or simply outlined, and make the transitions into the main surface easier to assess.
Material and stated origin
This plaque is listed as white nephrite and depicts Admiring Bamboo. Its stated origin is Xinjiang, China; the geographic attribution is separate from mineral identification. The supplied description notes golden-speckled skin. This is a description of appearance, not confirmation of treatment status.
