- Description:
The whole piece is slightly round. The decoration is held by an oval ring with an oval section. Inside the ring, two swans (wild geese) fly up and down in anger. One spreads its wings above and looks back in surprise. The other droops its wings below and flies forward. One spreads its wings (Hai Dongqing) is pecking the middle part of the top of the goose with its beak. Its hind brain is gripped by its claws. The latter seems to be moaning painfully. Swan and Uygur birds have a history of double wing feather patterns, and tail feathers are carved in shade. The figures of the Uighurs and swans are vivid and realistic, which fully shows the panic and confusion of the Uighurs grabbing swans in an instant. The ring bracket has a crack, and the crack mark is brown. The rest of the jade is clean and warm, and the whole body is polished smooth. The “spring water” jade ornaments show the scenes of spring search of Qidan, Jurchen and other ethnic minorities in northern China. The pattern of the swan is that the swan grabs the swan, and the swan is decorated with aquatic flowers, aquatic plants and other plants. The swan’s long neck often passes through a water plant or flower stem, which shows that the swan sneaks into the lotus and other aquatic plants to hide and hide in order to get rid of the hunting of the tiger. However, it is also common that there are no miscellaneous plants or geese without the tiger. This “spring water” jade ornament is an unpainted plant. The carving of the whole piece is round, and the swan and the tiger are quite three-dimensional. After careful polishing, its production may be as late as the Yuan Dynasty, and it was inlaid in the wooden box cover of the “Tao River Stone Orchid Pavilion Inkstone” in the Qing Dynasty.
