[Agate flower and bird pattern small screen]

Agate flower and bird pattern small screen, Qingdaoguang, 9.5 cm long, 8.3 cm wide and 1 cm thick. The old collection of the Qing Palace
The touch screen is made of agate and rectangular. The front uses the pretty color technique and uses the white on the raw material to be finely polished. The rocks, plum blossoms and phoenix are scattered in the middle, which makes it easy to come out, with a light brown background. On the back, the official script of Emperor Daoguang’s “poem of exploring plum blossoms” is engraved in the shade:
Where to find the letter of fragrance, the news from Qiancun comes
A green bamboo sticks to the moss
The shadow is thin because of the wind, and the heart is clear waiting for the snow to open
Thousands of trees are covered in spring, and the sound of Gengling is good
At the end of the year, “Chen Qi is good at respecting the book” was signed, and two seals of “Chen” and “Qi Shan” were engraved in the seal script
In the Qing Dynasty, the materials used for inserting screens were mostly white jade, sapphire and jasper, while agate materials were rare. This inset uses the white carved patterns on the agate material, which is unique and elegant.
