A SUPERB PALE GREEN JADE ‘BUFFALO AND YOUNG’ GROUP
18th century
Exquisitely carved in the round as a large water buffalo lying placidly on
its stomach with four legs bent underneath and the head turned to the
left towards a smaller buffalo, the gracefully curved horns flanking the
flat forehead incised with a whorl of hair, the neck skilfully detailed with
an undulating dewlap, the ear edges and the tail finely detailed with
hair markings, the smaller buffalo with its head raised playfully facing
the larger buffalo, the smoothly-polished stone of even greenish-white
tone with speckled inclusions.
12.5cm (4 7/8in) wide.
