拍品描述

A WHITE AND PALE BROWN JADE CARVING OF A MONKEY ON A HORSE, 17TH-18TH CENTURY China. Finely carved, the equine depicted in a recumbent posture with its legs tucked beneath the body, which extends into a luxuriant tail curling to the right side. Its powerfully modeled head, framed by an abundant mane, turns gracefully backwards to regard its rider, a small monkey crouching upon its back and gently caressing its muzzle with one forepaw. The softly polished, translucent stone is of a white tone with pale brown areas. Dimensions: Length 6.1 cm The present lot is filled with auspicious symbolism. The depiction of a monkey atop a horse forms the rebus ‘mashang fenghou’, conveying the wish for the immediate conferment of the rank of marquis or a speedy appointment to high office. Such a carving would have been an auspicious gift to an aspiring official.
