A LARGE WHITE AND RUSSET JADE RECUMBENT PHOENIX
18th century
Exceptionally finely carved from an even white stone highlighted with
attractive russet inclusions, the bird depicted crouching with its legs
tucked neatly underneath the body, the proudly crested head turned
to look backwards over the elaborately feathered body and wings, the
long tail heavily plumaged with thick, curling feathers, all polished to a
soft gleam.
6in (15cm) long
