I am posting images of a nephrite jade carving originating from the collection of Marvin George, envoy of USA in China between 1907-1909. It is made of translucent jade measuring 2.8" X 2.4" (7 X 6 cm.) I am genuinely interested to know how many of the Forum viewers, including the expert visitors, moderator(s), know the significance of this carving and I will reveal the utilitarian purpose of this carving in one week. This quiz is intended for learning process of the viewers and promotion of the Chinese arts.
Greetings to all!
