The present lot belongs to a group of jades that were carved in an
openwork technique, which sees the artist drill small holes of different
sizes in the jade boulder while carving the decoration around them. This
type of workmanship is similarly seen on several other jade carvings
attributed to the Song and Jin dynasties. Compare with two similar
celadon jade boulders from the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in
Zhongguo Yuqi Quanji, Hebei, 1993, vol. 5, p. 81, no. 130, dated Song
dynasty; and the other of Jin dynasty, p. 100, no. 154.
