The plum blossom jade plate paper (Meihuayubanjian) is a kind of famous Qing Dynasty court coating processed paper. In this study, a white Meihuayubanjian collected in the Palace Museum was analyzed using multiple scientific approaches:1) light-transmissive photography was carried out to observe painting traces during powder application—the width of the brush tool was about 5 cm; 2) 3D video microscopy was used to observe the details of gold painting on the paper—the width of gold fragments ranged from 0.8 μm to 12 μm; 3) using optical microscopy, it was found that the paper was made from bark fiber and bamboo fiber; 4) Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry revealed that the coating material on the paper surface was lead white pigment; 5) the ice-plum pattern and the seal were scanned using large-area X-ray fluorescence (XRF) imaging spectrometry, which showed that the main elements in the seal were Hg, Fe and Ca; 6) micro-area XRF spectrometry showed that two kinds of mud gold with different purities were used. Based on these results, the craft for making Meihuayubanjian was restored, and the replica sample made had the same material and similar appearance to the relic.
