A LARGE CARNELIAN AGATE ‘LINGZHI AND PEACH’ VASE
18TH CENTURY
The stone is cleverly carved using the varying tones of the agate. The two
receptacles shaped as gnarled tree trunks are carved from white stone, beside
lingzhi fungus growing from translucent lavender-grey rocks. The peaches
and the coiled chilong are carved from the carnelian stone.
