Carved amber figure of a seated man leaning on a wine jar, with a small bird perched on his shoulder.

Li Taibo

A reddish-amber carving shows a seated, bearded figure with a bowed head, leaning forward over a large wine jar with a carved floral band. A small bird perches near his shoulder; the glossy surface shows streaks of translucent color. The form is carved in the round from a single piece of stone.

Look closer: A small bird perched on the figure's shoulder near the top of the carving.
