The Plaque with Animal Mask is an exquisite representation of ancient Chinese artistry and cultural heritage. Crafted in jade, this stone plaque features an intricately carved animal mask that emanates both power and mystique. The vibrant color captured in this image brings out the beauty of the jade, highlighting its significance as a precious material during this period.
