A FINELY CARVED JADEITE
FIGURE OF LIU HAI
LATE QING DYNASTY
The figure is well carved in the round as
Liu Hai in a dynamic pose with his arms
raised holding a string of cash coins, his
right leg is stretched behind him and left
leg rests on a three-legged toad emitting
a peach supported on wispy smoke.
Beside him is a mandarin duck on a sea of
turbulent waves. The stone is of rich apple-
green and ice-green tones, with an area
of amber inclusions on the base, cleverly
utilised and carved as a crab.
8Æ in. (22.2 cm.) high, gilt-wood stand
