- Description:
It is carved from sapphire. It is smooth and has light brown jade skin. The whole vessel is shaped like a round cake. With the theme of “Autumn Mountain”, I saw a deer standing in the forest, looking back and watching. Wapiti and oak trees are carved out. The stripes of deer bodies and the veins of trees are only carved out with yin lines; The light brown jade is partially turned into leaves, which is quite ingenious. It is attached with a square wooden seat, which is dark brown. It is carved with four overlapping trumpet creepers. The “Autumn Mountain” jade ornaments show the scenes of Qidan, Nvzhen and other ethnic minorities in northern China in autumn service, and their decorative patterns are mainly mountains and forests with deer. The motif is opposite to the “spring water” jade decoration.
