拍品描述
Weighing 2230 grams, this masterly carved ornament measures 20 cm long, 10 cm wide and 15 cm tall. Sculpted from smoky rock crystal with appealing natural tonal gradients and subtle internal veining, the vessel takes the sturdy form of a ram-like mythical beast. Deeply incised spiral detailing decorates its haunches, while crisply carved facial features and rounded horn protrusions enhance lifelike charm. The removable lid is crowned by a miniature carved beast finial, concealing an interior space suited for incense storage. Polished sleek surfaces amplify the crystal?s luminous depth. Rich in auspicious symbolism, this exceptional piece is a premium addition to curated collections of Chinese hardstone zoomorphic decorative wares.
