A MAGNIFICENT AND FINELY-CARVED LARGE SPINACH-GREEN JADE BRUSH POT

QIANLONG PERIOD (1736-1795)

The tapering cylindrical body is raised on five compressed ruyi-head supports, and is carved in high relief with two pairs of figures on horseback and their accompanying tribute bearers and attendants forming a procession along mountain paths, against a backdrop of trees and pavilions. The tribute bearers are shown wearing loose robes and tall horn-shaped hats, and together with the attendants, they carry auspicious objects as tribute, including a peach branch, coral, a model of a pavilion, lingzhi fungus filling a jardinière, a flaming pearl pushed in a cart, and a brocade ball carried by an attendant followed by a Buddhist lion. The mouth rim is slightly rounded and the stone is a rich mottled green color, flecked with black.

7 5/8 in. (19.4 cm.) high
