Description
QIANLONG PERIOD (1736-1795)
Carved from bright and smooth white jade of pure white. The top of the knife handle is carved with curled lotus leaf reliefs with lotus buds as round buttons. The shank is wide and unadorned, tapering in underneath the waist and closes out in a traditional cloud design at the handguard. The clouds at the toe are decorated with reliefs of flowers and leaves, and the intersection of the shank and handguard with acanthus leaves. The piece has simplicity within its complexity and is a gorgeous and elegant example of a Mughal-styled knife handle.
