Carved jade bowl

Carved jade bowl with boat shape and Mughal-inspired decoration carved with flowers in lozenges and rows of leaves. The stone is celadon-toned with gray inclusions. Note the finesse of the walls, a classic technique of Mughal sculptors who were invited to the court in Peking to teach their techniques and work for imperial production.
