About This Piece
An open oval field is surrounded by several layers of scrolling border ornament. A pierced crown and decorative base give this Wushi plaque an elaborate frame while keeping its centre quiet. 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
Openwork creates actual openings through the jade, so the surrounding bridges are part of the structure as well as the design. Look at both faces and the inside edges under changing light to assess the finish and check for damage around these narrow connections.
