十八世紀 白玉雕童子洗象圖插屏
One boy holds a stick, another pouring water downward atop the elephant, a third carries a broom, a fourth holds a basin, while the fifth stands to one side. The lively scene of boys bathing an elephant was a popular auspicious subject at the Qing court, since the elephant, long associated with Buddhism, also symbolizes peace, prosperity, and good fortune.
See a white jade carved 'elephant and boys' plaque of larger size paired with another lion plaque in the collection of Michael S. L. Liu and illustrated in The Grandeur of Chinese Art Treasures: Min Chu Society Golden Jubilee Exhibition, Hong Kong, 2010, p. 305, cat. no. 209; and another white jade table screen of similar arched form carved with the same subject was sold at Sotheby's New York, 17–18 March 2015, lot 359.
