- Name of the Artwork: Smooth Sailing (Under Master Zhang's Guidance)
- Material: Agate Ornament
- Dimensions: Approximately 13cm (H) x 13cm (L) x 2cm (W)
- Weight: 205.35g
- Description: This piece is crafted from rich, vividly colored natural agate, embodying both craftsmanship and artistry. The standout feature of this piece lies in its intricate open-link chain carving, a highly challenging jade carving technique executed on a single piece of agate. Creating such a chain requires exceptional skill and vision, as the links are carved from a single continuous material yet can move independently. This technique demands a high level of expertise, requiring each link to be connected seamlessly without breaking, as any misstep could result in the entire chain’s failure. Applying this chain technique to agate—a silicon-based material with high hardness—further increases the technical difficulty and enhances the piece’s value. Additionally, the natural patterns of the agate are skillfully incorporated to form the curves of a sailboat, seamlessly blending aesthetic beauty and craftsmanship.Please view carefully. Sold As Is. No Return.
