This is an Exceptionally carved Zitan Wood Ruyi Scepter with Pheaant Jade Plaques - Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644)
A Zitan hardwood Ruyi Scepter with Pheasant Jade Plaques, a common theme of the Ming Dynasty. The curving hardwood Scepter, like Zitan, of a medium wood color, separates the sea-foam white to light green Pheasant Jade Plaques at the middle, tail and head, all reticulated in the Ming period style to depict birds within an intricate mesh of multi-layered floral tendrils.
Excellently preserved original condition.
Length: 35cm (14 inches)
Width of largest plaque: 2 inches
The Pheasant Plaques on this Ruyi Scepter are exactly as the Ming Period Pheasant Jade Plaques sold at Zacke Galleries on 15 October 2021 (photos 9 and 10)
