Name: Meat-shaped Stone Category Jade Age Cultural Relics in Qing Dynasty Originally Belonged to Qing Palace The Present Situation of Old Cultural Relics is now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
Meat-shaped stone came from Alashan Zuoqi, Inner Mongolia, and was supplied to the inner government during Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty. This meat-shaped stone of the Qing Dynasty is a natural stone, and its color peaks and textures are all naturally formed. It is taken from a piece of topaz, and it has been carved into a piece of jade Dongpo meat by amazing craftsmanship. It looks like a lifelike piece of pork belly. "Meat" has distinct layers of fat and thin, clear texture and wide pores. I believe that people who see it for the first time will not regard it as a hard stone, but it looks like a piece of Dongpo meat with a belt and fat and thin. Whether it is color or texture, it can be confused. People seem to smell braised pork. It's really the best in the world, and it's priceless. Its ingenious creative conception and exquisite carving techniques are amazing. This is the agate minerals in nature. Due to the accumulation of long years, at different time points, impurities affect and even produce different colors, showing different colors layer by layer. The craftsman who made this shaped stone polished the original stone with rich texture and dyed the stone skin on the surface to make this work with distinct layers of skin, fat meat and lean meat, and vivid pores and textures.
