拍品描述

A CHARMING WHITE JADE FIGURE OF A DOG, 18TH-19TH CENTURY China, 18th-19th century. Finely carved, the animal depicted in a recumbent posture, with its hind legs neatly tucked beneath the body and the forelegs gently crossed, supporting its lowered head. The face is sensitively rendered, with benevolent eyes, a well-defined muzzle, and pendant ears falling naturally to either side of the head. A clearly articulated spine extends along the back, terminating in a gracefully curled tail that sweeps to the left side of the body. The superbly polished, translucent stone is of an attractive, homogeneous white tone.
