The carvings produced by Lu Zigang in the late Ming period were regarded as of the highest quality through the Qing dynasty and many later carvings bear his name. A similar 'mutton fat' white jade plaque carved with a different subject but also signed Zigang is illustrated in the exhibition Catalogue, Chinese Jades from the Mu-Fei Collection, no. 69
