A closer look
This is a hand-held carved object made of natural Xiuyan jade, specifically identified as Liaoyang red material. The piece exhibits notable translucency, particularly in its primary body, which is described as resembling amber. The material composition is lithic, displaying a two-tone color scheme. The base and main body feature a translucent, reddish-orange hue with variations from deep amber to lighter honey tones, while the carved upper section presents as a more opaque, creamy off-white with subtle greenish-grey undertones.
The object has a specified dimension of 62.3 millimeters in length, 26.3 millimeters in width, and 15.4 millimeters in height. Its overall form is an elongated, roughly rectangular shape with smoothly rounded corners and edges, suggesting a palm-sized, tactile object. The front face is elaborately carved in high relief, depicting a mythical Qilin creature in a descending mountain posture. The carving shows detailed features including the creature's head, mane, and body, rendered in the lighter-colored stone that contrasts with the reddish-orange base.
Surface textures are predominantly glossy and highly polished, especially on the carved features and the smooth, rounded back of the piece. The back retains some of the natural stone's cortex or skin, presenting a more textured, less uniform surface with organic pitting and mineral inclusions visible within the translucent material. Small, dark mineral specks or veins are naturally present within the stone, particularly noticeable in the lighter carved sections, contributing to its organic character.
The interaction with light is a key feature, as the translucency of the reddish-orange jade allows light to pass through, creating a warm glow and highlighting internal color gradients and natural inclusions. The glossy finish on the carved surface produces bright, defined highlights. The object is designed as a "hand piece," its smooth contours and size making it suitable for holding and handling, which may gradually enhance its polish and translucency over time.
The craftsmanship demonstrates skilled carving to utilize the natural color variations of the stone, with the lighter material of the Qilin figure standing out distinctly against the amber-like base. The piece combines a polished, artisanal finish on the focal carving with a more natural, raw finish on the reverse, showcasing both the lapidary art and the intrinsic qualities of the Xiuyan jade
