Flower 437 - (1720)
[1720]

Also this flower seems to be a transition between a flower and a butterfly or the other way around. In the collection are a few of these flower-butterfly mixes and it seems as if the carver did not make up his mind yet when he carved these. This type of flower is not depicted in professor Cheng Te-k’un’s book ‘Jade Flowers and Floral Patterns in Chinese Decorative Art ‘.
