Carved from dark spinach-green nephrite jade with lighter streaks and natural inclusions, the sculpture is worked in the form of a steeply rising mountain landscape.
The composition is deeply pierced and carved in high relief, depicting layered rock faces, pine trees with overlapping foliage, and cavernous voids that create strong depth and shadow.
A small architectural element, possibly a pavilion or dwelling, is integrated into the upper section, partially obscured by foliage and rock formations.
The lower register features flowing, wave-like forms and a rounded boulder motif, grounding the composition visually and structurally.
The surface is smoothly polished on the high points, with fine tool marks visible within recesses, emphasizing texture and contrast.
The dense openwork and complex carving reflect skilled modern craftsmanship inspired by traditional scholar's rock and landscape imagery.
Height 8.8 cm (3 1/2 in.), width 5.7 cm (2 1/4 in.).
Provenance: Private Collection. Acquired on the art market, late 20th century.
