White Xinjiang Hetian jade (nephrite) seed material is described here as nicely oily with a subtle skin colour at the base, a little cotton visible under light and a small natural marking that does not affect the piece. A boy is carved smiling from ear to ear, cradling a drum and holding a mallet as if about to strike it. Listed dimensions are 68 x 30 mm and the listed weight is 49 g. Ask Yufu Jade for the depth measurement, daylight photographs and an in-hand shot.

Keeping this piece at its best
