Partly Worked Piece of Jadeite

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Partly Worked Piece of Jadeite by unknown artist depicts an elongated, irregularly shaped piece of dark green jadeite. The piece has a rough, unpolished exterior with brown dirt or rust-like spots on its surface. The interior is smooth and glossy, with a lighter green color. A curved groove or channel runs through the center of the piece, dividing it into two sections. The number "209" is written in red on one section. The background of the image is plain white.
