About This Piece
A seated Buddhist figure appears beneath a small ornate crest on an oval plaque. A finely patterned lotus base fills the lower face, while the reverse retains a simple polished surface.
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 Medicine Buddha. Its stated origin is Xinjiang, China; the geographic attribution is separate from mineral identification.
