The source describes this as white Hetian seed jade (nephrite) with yellow skin, carved as a plaque showing a court lady leaning at a doorway. She holds a silk fan and gazes out, while flowers bloom and butterflies drift beyond the door — a scene that echoes the classical 'peach-blossom face' poem about a beauty glimpsed and never seen again. Listed at 76.4 x 52.3 mm and 151.7 g, the third dimension is confirmed per piece. Ask Yufu Jade for in-hand and daylight photographs before ordering.

The meaning behind this piece
The court lady (shinü) is a classic subject of Chinese painting and jade, celebrating feminine grace and the poetry of longing. This scene recalls the Tang poem 'The Peach Blossom Face', where a young man returns to find the woman he met the year before already gone. It is a cultural and literary association, not a promise.
Sizing and wear
At 76.4 x 52.3 mm (about 3.0 x 2.1 in) and 151.7 g, it is a broad, heavy plaque-like hand piece that sits solidly in the palm. Ask Yufu Jade to confirm the depth and provide a scale photo.
Keeping this piece at its best
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately.
Keep away from ultrasonic cleaners, perfume and chemicals.

Is a court lady carving a suitable gift?
It appeals to collectors of classical Chinese art and literature. Because the subject is quite specific, confirm the recipient's taste and the current photos with Yufu Jade before buying.
How do I know this is real Hetian jade?
The listing describes the stone as Xinjiang Hetian seed material, and the yellow skin is a natural marker of a genuine seed pebble. Ask Yufu Jade for current photographs and any documentation before buying.
