Description

This work was originally crafted from greenish-white jade, with some alteration. Examination of the plane underneath the central hole shows that C-shaped curves were combined to form various types of clouds. These curved line patterns abound in visual tension. Such decorative elements with strong visual tension were also used for the clouds on either side of the main body or the dragons and beasts.
