White Hetian Jade Plaque: Contemplation Beneath the Lotus, 39 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 and contemplative imagery decorate a compact plaque with a raised crest. A separate calligraphic reverse is shown in detail, framed by a simple inner border. The lettering adds a second kind of detail to the carving. Look for clear separation between strokes and ask for a straight-on close-up if the wording matters to you. An inscription can be decorative or literary; it is not, by itself, evidence of the maker or the date.

The listed dimensions are 62.5 x 26.3 mm, approximately 2.46 x 1.04 in. Compare these measurements with a ruler to judge the scale. Listed weight: 39 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.
