A CHINESE HETIAN JADE TWIN FISH ORNAMENT

拍品描述

Weighing 2110 grams, this sculptural ornament measures 19 cm in length, 6 cm in width and 23 cm in height. Carved from fine Hetian jade, the stone displays warm milky-white foundations naturally streaked with russet-brown patina across the surfaces. Two dynamically posed fish rise amid intricately sculpted curling wave formations, with meticulously rendered scales, fins and flowing aquatic details to lend lifelike movement. The jade carving rests upon an elaborately open-carved dark hardwood stand patterned with scrolling marine motifs. Embodying traditional auspicious symbolism of abundance, this masterfully executed piece serves as a striking focal addition to refined assemblages of classical Chinese jade decorative statuary.
