About This Piece
A stylized phoenix follows one side of a narrow rectangular panel. Long parallel border lines and repeated spiral turns create a clean, balanced archaistic pattern.
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 Archaistic Phoenix. Its stated origin is Xinjiang, China; the geographic attribution is separate from mineral identification.
