• Description:
  Blue jade, There are brown spots of different shades at the outer edge, which are translucent. The grain pattern of the whole vessel is made by the technique of removing the ground and shallow relief, which is extremely exquisite. The shape is round, with an inner and outer contour. The contour is oblique and narrow, which was popular in the Warring States Period. The surface of the utensil is sparsely covered with small and round grain patterns. The whole utensil, whether it is made of jade, workmanship, or polishing, is a masterpiece of the handed down utensil. There are five characters carved on this jade wall, of which the last three characters are 69. The first two characters cannot be interpreted yet. They may be the characters indicating the location. Since the Warring States Period, especially in the Western Han Dynasty, there have been more and more such inscriptions with grain patterns, which may be related to the burial customs at that time
