Tablet (gui) with Grain Pattern and Imperial Inscription
A tall, flat jade tablet with a pointed top and tapering sides, carved on its face with four vertical columns of evenly spaced, raised rounded knobs. The translucent pale green-white stone shows a soft, even sheen. The record names a Qianlong-period tablet with an imperial inscription, but no inscription is visible in this view.
Look closer: The tablet's pointed top is a subtle, faceted ridge catching light along its edges.
