Description:
The bright and clean light bean green jade is a special shaped and decorated cover bowl. Carve a circle of small flowers on the upper edge of the abdominal wall and around the lid. On the abdominal wall and the surface of the vessel cover, several flat multi pointed lotus flowers were carved. The ventral wall is carved with small bouquets among the flat lotus flowers. From the middle section of one side of the abdominal wall, a large circular single handle is flattened, and three circles of story paintings are carved with the technique of carving and hatching, including figures, sheep, horses, elephants, lions, camels, etc. The meaning is unclear. One end of the big handle is bent and carved with two birds and two fish to support the weight of the big handle. This shape is very expensive, but the carving is not precise. The bowl body and the round handle are slightly inclined, and the lid is not tight. Each leaf and flower piece is ground into an oval pit, which is common on Türkiye jade articles.
