Spring is coming, as shown in this exquisite bonsai adorned with precious gemstones! Its intricate design captures the essence of spring with vivid details.
The gilded bronze peach tree trunk exudes an aura of opulence. The blue kingfisher bird feather-made leaves and their golden veins display a timeless brilliance, while the delicate gemstone peaches add a touch of loveliness to this artifact.
A treasure crafted in the Qianlong reign (1736-95) of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), it is now in the permanent collection of the Palace Museum.
