Described as white Hetian seed jade (nephrite) with yellow skin, this version of the reclining beauty is long and slender rather than compact. The figure's form is deliberately exaggerated — the limbs elongated, the hair swept back — giving the piece a stretched, lyrical line. Listed at 88 x 36 mm and 89.6 g, the third dimension is confirmed per piece. Ask Yufu Jade for in-hand and daylight photographs before ordering.

The meaning behind this piece
Where a square, compact beauty reads as restful, this elongated figure belongs to the more stylised strain of jade carving that idealises and lengthens the human form for grace. Jade has long been the chosen medium for such ideals of feminine beauty. The effect is aesthetic and cultural, not a promise.
Sizing and wear
At 88 x 36 mm (about 3.5 x 1.4 in) and 89.6 g, it is an elongated hand piece that lies lengthwise across the palm. Ask Yufu Jade to confirm the depth and provide an in-hand photo.

No. This individual piece has already been collected and remains online as a reference. You can ask Yufu Jade to look for a similar material, form or carving subject; any new piece is documented and quoted separately.
Why does the yellow skin matter here?
The yellow rind is the natural surface of the original seed stone, and keeping it signals the piece was carved from a genuine, unaltered pebble. Here it also adds a warm edge to the pale body.
How should I care for the skin areas?
Treat the skin like the rest of the stone — wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and chemicals, and store it in a padded box.
