A RARE SPINACH-GREEN JADE ‘LAOZI PASSING THROUGH
THE HANGU PASS’ DOUBLE-SIDED CIRCULAR SCREEN
Early 19th century

on both sides, the front side decorated with Laozi riding a buffalo
flanked by a young attendant, greeted by Yinxi beside his attendant
holding a plantain leaf fan, all within a landscape scene with the
fortified Hangu Pass at the top, amidst rocky ledges, lush pine trees,
and a waterfall, the reverse carved with a large pavilion beside a river
with tall overhanging pine trees and a crane in mid-flight overlooking
another crane perched on rockwork, the stone of an intensely rich
spinach green tone with minor pale green speckled inclusions.
21.5cm (8 1/2in) diam.
