However, this object can be dated back to the Early Ming period, when the character of jade carving possesses a fine natural color-graining. It has a typical mottled grey-green or usually classified as \"Dark green,\" Ji Yü of the Ming period. Unlike most intricately carved cylindrical brush holders of the later Qianlong period, it is a bolder, cruder, less artistic type, and noticeably of archaic semblance. Yet, easily discernible to the expert when compared with the truly archaic jades of earlier times. It is elongated and slender and does not bear any literary symbols or mythological metaphors, but rather a military character. The sides are divided into three registers divided by negative spaces. The bottom and top registers are narrower than the main one in the middle. Within each register is an unusually bold and simplistic design of incised angular interlocking scrolls. It indubitably does not belong to the Qing period, (in which Emperors were renowned scholars; especially the Emperor Qianlong, also a poet and essayist). Jade objects, particularly the Four Treasures of the Chinese scholar's study (wenfang sibao)* were intricately sophisticated during the Qing period."},{"label":"Title","value":"Cylindrical brush holder"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
