Carved from a whole piece of Hetian Jade, this ornament is premium in quality with some brown features retained on the surface. The openwork carving of this piece resulted in the removal of jade stone textures that lacked the desired patterns, which forms a sense of transparency and agile beauty. The whole piece is carved in the shape of grapevines with a squirrel crowing on. Such a design emphasizes these solid and round fruits on one hand and presents the lush leaves with the natural jade surface on the other. These two techniques take on a lively and sprightly sense of rhythm.
