Sharing the black jadeite pieces from the Mu Na mine, how about designing the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?

This is a piece of black jadeite that has just been cut from the Muna mine. The whitish part on it has mutated and needs to be cut off. Below I will share with you the process of cutting this piece of jade.

Under the light, the base is clean, the water quality is icy, and there are no impurities, making it very suitable for carving figures.

The jade carver has carved out the overall shape and removed any dirt, cracks or impurities before proceeding to the next step. Design the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva according to the characteristics of the material. Let’s see how the product turns out, will there be any surprises?

Begin carving by sanding out the outline first.

The back is also cleverly carved, which makes the artistic conception more vivid.

Carving also follows the principle of starting with the difficult and then moving on to the easy, taking the general shape. The basic patterns are polished out, and the final key step is to open the face.

After the rough carving is completed, it still needs to be refined. First, turn on the light to see the effect.

After the basic finishing is completed, the material reaches the rough stage. At this stage, most of the work is completed and awaits polishing.
