The present lot with its lobed form and elaborate design shows the distinct influence of Mughal jades on Chinese jade carving. This was due to the favour shown by the Qianlong emperor to such jades which he termed 'Hindustan' jades. See for example a Mughal jade lobed bowl and two Mughal jade lobed boxes and covers, in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated by Teng Shu-p'ing, Exquisite Beauty - Islamic Jades, Taipei, 2007, nos.60 and 125-126.
此洗仿痕式玉雕。從清宮檔案可知，至乾隆晚年，眾多帶有伊斯蘭風格的玉器，成為官員進貢首選，造成市場需求，因此中國玉工亦熱衷吸收伊斯蘭風格，對十八世紀晚期至十九世紀的玉器風格長生變化。進貢至清宮痕玉之例，可見台北國立故宮博物院所藏三件痕玉香薰，《國色天香：伊斯蘭玉器》，台北，2007年，編號60及125，126。
