| Description | A white nephrite jade panel taken from a jui-i scepter with raised and incised work. The pattern shows two peaches, two spiders, two sheng jewels (often miscalled cash) with silk scarfs, and a stylized bat (head below with out stretched wings). Very well carved. There is an inset of carnelian in the center with a shou character. Now seated in an Occidental wooden stand. |
