Mountain

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pale green jade sculpture with a number etched into it. The sculpture consists of a mountain with several cave-like areas; one on the left with a figure sitting to the right; one on the right with a figure standing; and one in the center in between. The left side of the mountain has a flat semi-rectangular area with 7 vertical thin slits cut into it. A dark line runs along the bottom-right corner. The background is gray. The title of the piece is "Mountain", by an unknown artist.
