• Description:
  White jade with yellowish grey spots in some parts. Cut a cup with sheep’s head and melon petals. Like the above two pieces, the inner and outer walls of the sheep’s neck are carved with hard and abrupt lines. This piece uses gold wire to wrap onyx to express the sheep’s eyes, but it makes eye corners on the left and right, like human eyes rather than sheep’s eyes.
