About This Piece
Zhong Kui's figure is picked out in dark brown and black skin on a pale oval pebble. The reverse is much lighter, with a few flowing lines that contrast with the richly coloured front.
Carving details and what to examine
The colour contrast helps separate parts of the composition. Compare the photographed colour boundaries with the carved outlines to see how the design uses the material. Colour placement is a visual feature; whether a coloured area is natural or treated requires separate evidence.
