A PAIR OF DARK GREEN JADE CANDLESTICKS
Each candlestick is made in two sections, the lower has a domed base carved with pendent foliate sprays from which rises a hollow columnar support carved with three projecting, openwork dragon-form flanges. The upper section has a similar flange-flanked column that rises from the center of the larger, lower drip pan with petal-carved sides to the similar, smaller drip pan at the top. The highly polished stone is of dark green color.
