National Palace Museum

A jade and gold bowl stand features intricate openwork carvings of lotus scrolls and auspicious symbols. The stand has a flared, petal-like base made of carved jade and a golden, openwork top that supports a circular brass plate. 銅玉座子。整器分為上下兩部份，皆做蓮花形而材質相異，上半部以銅為仰蓮，飽滿外張的蓮瓣正為座欄，花瓣內鏤雕番蓮花葉；座下半部則用白玉雕鏤蓮瓣為足，花瓣則鏤雕八寶浮於雲間。器上下材質雖異，卻以「蓮瓣」來統合全體，可說寓變化於統一之中的製作。 Object number: 故玉003765N000000001 Rights: Jade and bronze bowl stand with openwork decoration of Eight Treasures and Indian lotus scrolls, The National Palace Museum, Taipei, CC BY 4.0 @ www.npm.gov.tw IIIF manifest: https://digitalarchive.npm.gov.tw/Integrate/GetJson?cid=46613&dept=U
