A CHINESE JADEITE TABLE SCREEN: BOY WASHING ELEPHANT

拍品描述

This circular table screen features a polished jadeite plaque with natural white matrix interspersed with vibrant emerald green inclusions. The stone is deeply carved in relief depicting a child atop an elephant amid layered mountain cliffs and gnarled pine trees, presenting the auspicious motif of peace and purity. The plaque is set within a finely carved dark hardwood stand adorned with scrolling cloud and archaic geometric patterns, with openwork ruyi supports elevating the round jadeite panel. Masterful stone carving paired with meticulous woodcraft renders it a distinguished decorative scholar?s ornament favoured by Asian art collectors.
