This is a piece I started a long time ago and I recently pushed ahead and finished it now. It's a 15-16th century Mughal box and utensils used to make pens and inks. Materials include rubies, emeralds, diamonds, gold, and white nephrite jade. It comes to around 52k verts and is game-ready for UE5 Nanite. 2 texture sets, 8K res for renders.

There's not that many references of it out there and the few photos that are there each show the jade in slightly different tints depending on the lighting. I kept a greenish tint in there. The sides are not visible other than in a black and white catalog photo and even in that the side is half obscured. I used my best judgement and filled in the hidden parts.

I tried to get the materials as close as possible but having it 1 to 1 exactly would have taken too long.
