AN EXTREMELY RARE YELLOW AND RUSSET JADE FIGURE OF A MYTHICAL BEAST
SIX DYNASTIES
superbly and powerfully worked as a snarling lion or chimera crouching with the body slightly turned to the left, the mythical beast
rendered ferocious with the head held high above the protruding chest marked with a series of horizontal folds, the mouth rendered
opened and baring its teeth and fangs, below circular irises enclosed within lozenge-shaped eyes, the nostrils, thick eyebrows and
flattened ears accentuated with scrolling motifs repeated along the shoulders and flanks of the muscular body, the spine further
depicted with a gently raised ridge highlighted with fine incisions and terminating in a bifurcated tail, the stone of a warm celadon-
yellow colour with extenstive russet patches
