Immortal

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The jade sculpture "Immortal" by an unknown artist depicts a smiling, bald man with a receding hairline on the sides of his head carved from dark green jade. He wears a robe with long sleeves and folds carved into the stone. His hands are clasped in front of him and he appears to hold something. He stands on a small base. The figure is angled slightly to the right. The background is gray.
