A CELADON AND BLACK JADE ‘RAT’ TOGGLE
17TH CENTURY
The small creature is carved crouching with its head resting on its front
paws, its hind legs tucked close to its body and its tail ficked up towards
its right haunch. Its face is carved with beady eyes, and small round ears
which terminate in a little spiral. The carving is pierced through the centre for
suspension. The jade is of a celadon tone with opaque black inclusions.
