About This Piece
Lotus forms curl into the lower part of a teardrop-shaped white carving. The edge close-up follows the raised rim and the depth of the plant cuts, while much of the upper face is left smooth. 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
The plant forms invite a close look at the meeting points between petals, leaves and the surrounding ground. Compare these small details with the larger outline to judge the balance of the design. Side lighting is useful for seeing depth without mistaking a cast shadow for a carved line.
