About This Piece
A dragon winds through a lightly carved rectangular panel. The edge view shows a relatively flat body with rounded corners, while the illuminated photograph helps distinguish the outline of the relief. The source notes small cotton-like inclusions in the jade; these should be assessed in the close-up photographs.
Carving details and what to examine
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.
Material and stated origin
This plaque is listed as white nephrite and depicts Dragon Across the Four Seas. Its stated origin is Xinjiang, China; the geographic attribution is separate from mineral identification.
