A watercolour and bodycolour depiction of 25 different stones; No. 56 = jade, No. 65 aburstone (from India), No. 68 = green tranlucent jade/prase, No. 69 = Egyptian jasper, No. 73 = cornelian, No. 74 = bloodstone. This striking line-up of gems, minerals, and semi-precious stones recalls the way such specimens were stored in ‘cabinets of curiosities’. Some of the items were prized for their rarity or exotic origin, such as the Abur stone from Rajasthan at centre left numbered 65, or the green and white jade on the top row, numbered 56, which probably came from China. Others were mounted in gold or silver, pierced and threaded, to be worn as amulets.
