Description
Nephrite of pebble material; with a greyish skin carved to depict a broad leaf with incised veins covering a bunch of grapes.
The unusual greyish colour of the skin on this pebble has been cleverly used to depict a large leaf covering the grapes. The carving is slightly stiff, however, lacking the flowing movement of no. 62 below and this is a pointer to the nineteenth century as standards inevitably declined from the heights of the previous century. Nevertheless, the overall effect
remains pleasing.
