About This Piece
Suspended from one corner, this square plaque reads as a diamond. A pavilion, tree and river landscape sit within the pointed outline, making its orientation a key difference from vertically hung rectangular plaques.
Carving details and what to examine
Read the landscape from its outer outline toward the smaller architectural and natural details. Changes in spacing and carved depth can suggest distance on a small surface. Side-lit close-ups help distinguish raised details from shadows cast by studio lighting.
Material and stated origin
This plaque is listed as white nephrite and depicts Dreaming of Jiangnan. Its stated origin is Xinjiang, China; the geographic attribution is separate from mineral identification.
