"Jade Mountain Illustrating the Gathering of Poets at the Lan T'ing Pavilion"
Chinese, Ch'ing Dynasty, 1784 (commissioned by the Ch'ien-lung emperor [1736-1795])
This piece is simply fabulous, one of the crown jewels of the Chinese collection at MIA; I never tire of examining its details. The Chinese and Japanese collection at MIA is incredible!
This is purported to be the largest sculpture of a single piece of jade that exists outside of China.
