A mottled, dark green, spinach jade, and cylindrical brush holder is carved with a landscape scene. High-relief figures in traditional robes gather beneath a large tree, leaves and branches clustered atop. To our left, two figures stand near jagged rocks, while three others sit or stand toward the center and right. Smooth, polished bands finish the top and bottom edges of the vessel.
