A WHITE JADE WRIST REST
Late Qing/Republic period
Of gently arched profile with scrolling sides, the front
undercut with a split-tailed dragon as the finial above
a rooster perched on a rock amid bamboo, day lilies
and lingzhi while a towering mountain peak rises
amid clouds and pine branches above a tiger halting
on a rocky ledge within the concave underside,
the soft-hued white stone marked with russet and
cloud-like inclusions.
5 5/8in (14.3cm) long
