White Hetian Jade Plaque: Contemplation and Awakening, 34 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.

A contemplative figure bends forward within a rectangular scene. Fine dotted texture decorates the garment, while the broad reverse remains nearly plain apart from small circular emblems. Compare the outer profile in the full view with the smaller carved details in the close-ups. An angled view helps separate changes in surface depth from differences caused by lighting. Photographs are useful for studying the composition, but do not establish the maker, the tools used or a workmanship grade.

The listed dimensions are 45.5 x 27 mm, approximately 1.79 x 1.06 in. Compare these measurements with a ruler to judge the scale. Listed weight: 34 g. Confirm the suspension opening and any included cord or fittings.

Contemplative faces and bowed figures evoke inward attention in Buddhist-influenced carving. The available title describes a theme of awakening or reflection without securely identifying a particular teacher or bodhisattva. Read this as the traditional subject of the carving, rather than a statement about its age, maker or a promised effect on the owner.
