清 白玉雕御題詩梅妻鶴子圖小座屏

flanked by a gnarly plum tree in bloom and a figure of poet Lin Bu, with a crane in flight above, the reverse inscribed with an imperial poem in praise of the blossoming plum, the translucent stone with opaque white inclusions

Two corners chipped and minute nicks along the edges and a possible polished nick to the scholar's nose. Because the crane is close to the top edge, there is a possibility that the top may have been reduced.
