Table screen with landscape scene

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pale green jade table screen in a rounded square shape with a scene of people in a landscape carved into it. The screen is carved from a single piece of jade and features a group of people in various poses, including some standing on rocks or trees. The scene includes several trees, and some objects are held by the people. The jade has a smooth, glossy finish and a subtle sheen. The background of the image is dark gray, which highlights the jade screen.
