Details
A PALE GREYISH-WHITE JADE FELINE-FORM VESSEL AND COVER
QING DYNASTY (1644-1911)
The beast is shown standing foursquare with the mouth set in a grimace. The legs, haunches, sides, and tail are finely incised with a series of dots and curved lines simulating fur and the openwork cover is shaped as a wing. The stone is of a greyish-white tone with areas of tan mottling and some dark brown inclusions which are cleverly utilized to accent the head of the beast.
6 1/4 in. (16 cm.) long, hardwood stand
