About This Piece

Two matching rectangular plaques carry stylized dragon and phoenix ornament. The pair is shown together from several angles, allowing the repeated borders and the differences between the two carved faces to be compared.

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 pair is listed as white nephrite and depicts Archaistic Dragon and Phoenix. Its stated origin is Xinjiang, China; the geographic attribution is separate from mineral identification. The supplied description notes yellow skin. This is a description of appearance, not confirmation of treatment status.

The meaning behind this piece

Archaistic carving reinterprets ornament associated with early Chinese art, including stylized animals, scrolls and geometric patterns. The term describes the design style and does not mean that the object is an archaeological antique.

Size and handling

The supplied dimensions are 47 x 25 mm (approximately 1.85 x 0.98 in). Ask for measurements of each plaque and confirmation of the combined weight and pair price before ordering. The recorded weights differ, so a current weighing is needed.

Keeping this piece at its best

  • Wipe with a soft, lightly dampened cloth and dry gently. Avoid abrasive polish, harsh cleaners and sudden temperature changes.
  • Store separately in a padded pouch and protect the carved edges from knocks.
  • Check the suspension point and cord regularly. Remove the piece before bathing, swimming or vigorous activity.

Documentation status for 163YU-91095

A laboratory report has not been independently verified for this listing. This archived piece is not offered for sale. For any proposed similar piece, ask whether a laboratory report is available for that exact item. Request a readable copy showing the issuing laboratory, report number, item photograph, measurements and the scope of the conclusion. Verify the number through the laboratory's own official service and compare the report details with the item being offered. Confirm whether both plaques are covered; a report identifying only one piece should not be treated as a report for the pair.

Photographs for this reference

This listing presents 3 catalog photographs for 163YU-91095. These are edited product photographs: backgrounds have been cleaned and some views cropped to remove branding. Lighting and screen settings affect the apparent colour. Request current, unretouched daylight views of both faces and the edges when assessing condition or treatment questions.

Use the central evidence guide to understand what a report can establish, how to verify its issuer and which current-condition views to request.

What details distinguish this Archaistic Dragon and Phoenix pair?

Two matching rectangular plaques carry stylized dragon and phoenix ornament. The pair is shown together from several angles, allowing the repeated borders and the differences between the two carved faces to be compared. 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.

What size is reference 91095?

The supplied dimensions are 47 x 25 mm (approximately 1.85 x 0.98 in). Ask for measurements of each plaque and confirmation of the combined weight and pair price before ordering. The recorded weights differ, so a current weighing is needed.

Are both plaques shown as one set?

The photographs present two complementary plaques together. Confirm that the quoted price covers both pieces and ask for each plaque's measurements before ordering. Check that the invoice and any testing documentation identify both pieces; measurements or a report for one plaque should not be assumed to cover its companion.
