A CHINESE HETIAN RECUMBENT YELLOW JADE HORSE

拍品描述

Weighing 1010 grams, this elegant animal carving measures 14 cm in length, 7.5 cm in width and 10 cm in height. Fashioned from fine Hetian yellow jade, the stone carries soft natural russet streaks that gracefully trace the horse?s rounded torso and textured tail. The steed is rendered in a peaceful recumbent pose, with smoothly polished contours shaping its serene facial features, compact ears and neatly tucked limbs. It sits securely upon a meticulously carved dark hardwood stand embellished with foliate openwork detailing along the rim. Blending refined lapidary smoothing and timeless equine iconography, this graceful sculpture is a distinguished addition to curated collections of classical Chinese jade animal ornaments.
