This elegant piece exemplifies the aesthetic taste of scholar-
officials of the Ming and Qing dynasties, who sought objects
for their studio that had a variety of functions, such as
brushrests and paperweights, as well as being works of art in
their own right. A slightly larger carving of this theme, in the
Palace Museum, Beijing, is illustrated in The Compendium of
Collections in the Palace Museum. Jade, vol. 9, Qing Dynasty,
Beijing, 2011, pl.64, together with one modelled as three peaks
with chilong, pl. 66; and another was sold in our New York
rooms, 21st March 2015, lot 692.
