One of the white jade circular panels is exquisitely carved on one side with a mountainous landscape scene of two immortals standing conversing under a pine tree and two young attendants holding a basket, the reverse with a walking crane on a river bank; the other panel finely depicts a scene of two immortals holding lingzhi in a rocky mountainous setting with pine tree, wutong, and low clouds, with two young attendants playing musical stones on a raised stage, the far background with a pavilion on rocky cliff, the reverse with two deer at rest under wutong tree, the stone is of smooth translucent white tone with some slight russet skin. Qing Dynasty Qianlong period.


此對插屏由和田白玉籽料雕琢而成, 慎選用料如此之大, 十分珍罕。 其玉質溫潤細膩, 高度淨透, 紋飾雕刻富有層次, 正與反面作截然不同之構圖, 而又互相呼應。 畫面生動描繪了仙人獻壽之場景, 富有文人山水畫般的意境, 為清乾隆時期玉雕藝術之精品, 不可多得。 可參考一件類似白玉插屏, 香港蘇富比 2013年秋拍 拍品號3042, 及美國哈特曼伉儷收藏白玉圓屏, 著錄於Robert Kleiner《Chinese Jades From The Collection of Alan and Simone Hartman》一書, 香港, 1996, 第132頁.
