A RUSSET-FLECKED WHITE JADE 'FOUR ARTS' PENDANT
Qianlong period
Carved in openwork a soft ribbon loosely wraps around a guqin Ziter, a chessboard and chess boxes, bundles of books, and a scroll painting, a discreet channel drilled under a square tab for stringing, the stone polished to shine, with natural russet inclusions from 'skin' cleverly incorporated as part of the design.
