About This Piece
A bird stretches upward through a vertical scene with curling cloud forms. The small rectangular plaque keeps a plain field around the raised figure, which becomes clearer in the angled front view. 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.
