A FINE AND RARE WHITE JADE MOUNTAIN
Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Period (1736-1795) |
Lush white Nephrite with brown veins, carved into the shape of a mountain and decorated with a landscape mural. Cascading slopes and towering crags imbue the work with an emboldened artistic aura. Upon closer inspection, horses can be seen roaming on a plateau next to a creek. The horses come in many forms; standing, resting, grazing, etc. The theme of the entire work is set by a herder pulling a horse next to a forest, located in the lower right hand side of the piece. |
