Large Chinese Natural Untreated Jadeite Foo Dog Lion Seal Stone Carving w Stand

About the Item

This modern Chinese jadeite seal stone, standing at an impressive 8 inches on its stand, is a remarkable piece of artistry, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship associated with contemporary Chinese jade carving. Carved on a square base, the seal is intricately decorated on each side with incised scrolling leaves, a traditional motif that adds elegance and depth to the piece. The pinnacle of this jadeite seal stone is the skillfully carved figure of a foo dog or guardian lion that sits majestically atop the square base. The foo dog, known for its protective qualities, is depicted in a pose that is both fierce and playful, with one paw confidently resting on a ball—a symbol of power and supremacy. The creature's mouth is slightly open, revealing sharp teeth, adding to its formidable appearance. Yet, there is a playful aspect to its demeanor, captured through the skillful carving that brings this mythical creature to life. The carving is exceptionally vivid and lively, with the foo dog's eyes wide open and gazing forward alertly, as if on the lookout for danger. This attention to detail in the expression and posture of the foo dog makes the sculpture not just a decorative object but a symbol of protection and vigilance. Crafted from natural jadeite, the seal stone boasts a fine quality of material, known for its durability and beauty. The jadeite's natural color and translucency are highlighted through the carving, making this piece a valuable addition to any collection. Circa 20th Century modern Size: 8" inc. stand 2.68 kg

Located in Richmond, CA
This modern Chinese sculpture, standing at an impressive 10 inches on its stand, is a masterful representation of contemporary jadeite craftsmanship, particularly from the renowned Suzhou tradition. Carved from natural, untreated jadeite, the sculpture presents a captivating scene of a blooming flower, complete with two small birds perched atop and a preying feline lurking beneath the intricately carved canopy of leaves and petals. The jadeite material selected for this piece is of exceptional quality, exhibiting a pale celadon green hue that is both translucent and rich in lustre, reminiscent of the finest examples of jadeite.

The scene depicted is one of natural harmony and beauty, yet it is imbued with the dynamic tension of the natural world, as evidenced by the presence of the preying feline. This juxtaposition adds a layer of narrative depth to the sculpture, making it not just a decorative item but a work of art that tells a story.
