Amber of deep red and caramel color, opaque and translucent, smooth surface polish China, 18th century This masterly carved amber pebble of irregular shape has a drilled channel on the top for suspension as a pendant. The entire piece is carved in high and low relief with a traditional scenery of villagers. We see a farmer plowing the fields with his oxen, two fishermen at work and a lady simply enjoying the view. The interplay of opaque and translucent areas is remarkable and appealing.
