The white jade archer's ring carved with archaistic taotie mask, accompanied with a fitted cloisonne enamel case, the base with four character Qianlong mark.


帶原配琺瑯盒,扳指中部通心穿鑿圓潤、規整,內壁光素無紋,包漿自然古樸。扳指最早是戴在右手拇指上,拉弓射箭的時候可以防止快速的箭擦傷手指,到後來漸漸有了玉石和金銀等貴重材料做的扳指,象徵權勢地位。此扳指腹部的主題紋飾為草龍紋,兩面佈局對稱,紋飾圖案相同,料為新疆白玉精製而成,質理精堅,隱含玉肌,使得此器彌足珍貴。
