Three-panel spinach green jade screen, each panel consisting of three different sized plaques, mounted in a hard wood stand. The top and bottom panels of each screen carved in relief with various flowers, including day lilies, peonies, hibiscus and lotus flowers. The central panel of each screen depicts children involved in different activities, on the left one a child plays a sheng? musical instrument, the middle one with three children sitting on the ground with a small bird in one child’s sleeve, the right one with a child playing a drum. The top of the frame decorated with five-clawed gilt-metal dragons and the base carved with lotus-petals and three taotie monster faces. The form of this screen is based on elaborate throne screen and table screens of the Qianlong period
