Jadeite Cabbage
The Jadeite Cabbage () or Jadeite Cabbage with Insects is a piece of jadeite carved into the shape of a Chinese cabbage head, and with a locust and katydid camouflaged in the leaves. It is part of the collection of the National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan.〔(Jadeite Cabbage with Insects ) at the National Palace Museum website. Retrieved 20 November 2010.〕
==Description==
The Jadeite Cabbage is a small sculpture. Measuring only and is thick,〔 it is "hardly larger than a human hand".〔Leslie Hook. ("The Jade Cabbage" ) ''Wall Street Journal''. 27 July 2007. Retrieved 20 November 2010.〕
The ruffled semi-translucent appearance of the leaves is due to the combination of various natural colors of the jade to recreate the color variations of a real cabbage.〔 The figure was carved from a single piece of half-white, half-green jadeite which contained numerous imperfections such as cracks and discolored blotches. These flaws were incorporated into the sculpture and became the veins in the cabbage's stalks and leaves.〔Sam Ju. ("The Crystallization of the Jadeite Cabbage." ) Translated by David Smith. ''Taiwan Panorama''. October 2009. p. 83. Retrieved 20 November 2010.〕
The sculpture has been considered an allegory of female virtue with the white stalk symbolizing purity, the leaves denoting fertility and abundance and locust and katydid representing children.〔〔
