About This Piece
A slim rectangular orchid plaque has a restrained, lightly incised plant design. The closer hanging view shows the long leaves and flower stems, while the other photographs show its small scale and flat profile.
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.
Material and stated origin
This plaque is listed as white nephrite and depicts Orchid. Its stated origin is Xinjiang, China; the geographic attribution is separate from mineral identification.
