Description:
|
Jades mined in Hetian, Xinjiang province, are often used to make Qing archaistic jades, and this piece is no exception. It takes the form of slender trapezoid, and the blade edge is thick and blunt. An abstract facemask is carved on one side, and it is in opposite direction from a poem composed by the Qianlong emperor. The other side shows a figurative image with big eyes and fangs. It wears a boat-shaped hat and round earrings, which are linked to a human head. The imitations are very accurate, and the structure does not have sloppy flaws that show on most imitations. The two edges are inscribed with "Qianlong nianzhi" and "yunzi sanshisan hao".
