Lot Description

This is a large-scale Hetian jade landscape shanzi sculpture carved from a single block, weighing 4242 grams. It comes with an authoritative gemological certification. The jade features a fine, smooth texture with a characteristic fibrous interlocking structure. Its overall tone is pale green-white with natural, soft coloration. Carved to follow the stone's natural contours, this piece employs multi-layer openwork and deep relief carving techniques. Towering mountain ranges rise in layers, with peaks and ridges arranged in harmonious variety. Ancient pines twist with gnarled branches, their leaves intricately pierced layer by layer; the carving is delicate and masterful. Hidden within the mountains are pavilions, corridors, winding paths, and stone bridges, evoking the serene atmosphere of a secluded retreat in the deep woods. The composition balances elevation and depth, creating distinct foreground and background layers with dynamic interplay between solid and void. This work honors the traditional aesthetic of scholar-style shanzi carvings, expressing the aspiration for a peaceful life in nature. The piece includes its original custom-fitted hardwood base, intricately carved with rock and pine motifs that seamlessly complement the jade. Sturdy and dignified, this large Hetian jade display piece offers exceptional visual appeal and significant collectible value.
