A carved jade object depicts a Buddha's hand citron with multiple finger-like protrusions. The object is light green with some darker inclusions and rests on a base that resembles leaves. 玉質，整器雕作成一佛手瓜，瓜表縱痕甚深，至瓜頂處分裂為如指爪的瓜體，嫩梢卷曲而飽滿，萌發生意。除了做為主體的佛手瓜外，在佛手瓜下半部還雕附了小佛手瓜、桃樹、靈芝，添加了器物的吉祥寓意。 Object number: 故玉002886N000000000 Rights: Jade Buddha's hand citron, The National Palace Museum, Taipei, CC BY 4.0 @ www.npm.gov.tw IIIF manifest: https://digitalarchive.npm.gov.tw/Integrate/GetJson?cid=50995&dept=U
