Description:
White jade, slightly yellow, looks old. Carve it into a half gourd shape. The outer wall is carved with melon ribs, the two ends are carved with acanthus leaf patterns, and the inner wall is smooth. The edge of the organ is smooth and may have been cut, so the edge of the leaf pattern on both ends is incomplete. There is a small tenon with a hole drilled at the narrow end for threading and hanging. The jade plate was sent to the Qing Palace in 1775. Emperor Qianlong thought it was an antique and wrote poems for it. He ordered the jade workers to engrave the poems on the melon ridge. It is also equipped with exquisite wooden boxes and wooden seats.
