About This Piece
Three rams fit within a rounded square frame. The close-up distinguishes the adult animals from the smaller figure and shows the shallow border surrounding the compact group.
Carving details and what to examine
The framing is part of the composition, so examine its relationship to the central motif as well as the motif itself. Edge and angled views help show whether the border is raised, recessed or simply outlined, and make the transitions into the main surface easier to assess.
Material and stated origin
This plaque is listed as white nephrite and depicts Three Rams, a New Beginning. Its stated origin is Xinjiang, China; the geographic attribution is separate from mineral identification.
