A LARGE WHITE AND BROWN JADE 'LOTUS POD' GROUP17TH CENTURY |

the larger pod facing upward and leaning against the smaller which is turned on its side, the seeds within each carefully modeled, thick stems snaking around the sides and beneath the pods issuing flowers in varying stages of bloom, long slender leaves, and broad pads, each element naturalistically rendered in high relief with minute details incised in fine lines, the stone an opaque creamy color with thin brown veins, the surface with a soft polish
