Description :

This work of art is jade or jade-like stone carving of a mythical creature, possibly a Pixiu or Qilin  which are both important creatures in Chinese culture. The carving is intricately detailed, showcasing the creature in a dynamic, reclining pose with its mouth open, a flowing tail, and strong limbs. The stone has a smooth, greenish hue with slight variations in tone, giving it a natural and elegant appearance.

The sculpture is placed on a wooden stand that has a carved, organic shape, adding to its traditional aesthetic. Such stands are often used to display valuable carvings and provide contrast to the smooth texture of the jade. Small broken area on top of head.

Wooden base is 6"W x 1" Ht x 2" D.

Creature is 5.6" W x 3" Ht x 2" Depth
