Mystery nephrite jade carving |
Posted By: Mircea Veleanu Posted Date: Jan 24, 2009 (07:23 PM) |
Message I am posting images of a nephrite jade carving originating from the collection of Marvin George, envoy of USA in China between 1907-1909. It is made of translucent jade measuring 2.8" X 2.4" (7 X 6 cm.) I am genuinely interested to know how many of the Forum viewers, including the expert visitors, moderator(s), know the significance of this carving and I will reveal the utilitarian purpose of this carving in one week. This quiz is intended for learning process of the viewers and promotion of the Chinese arts. Greetings to all! Post a Response |
