Another unusual design which puzzled us in the beginning. According to the British owner, it was originally attached to a fan cover but he removed it as the silk had completely deteriorated. Later we found a depiction of a similar flower on a pendant (see inset on photo) and also managed to acquire two similar ones in different sizes. See flower 580 - (3257) and flower 582 - (3273). This type of flower is not depicted in professor Cheng Te-k’un’s book ‘Jade Flowers and Floral Patterns in Chinese Decorative Art ‘.
