Monumental Chinese Spinach Jade Recumbent Tang Horse Rocky Variations 20th Cent.

About the Item

A monumental size (14kg) Chinese recumbent Tang Horse, circa mid to late 20th Century, possibly older. The sculpture is executed in Spinach Jade, a material highly prized for its deep green hue and symbolic significance. The horse is depicted in a laying-down posture. The craftsmanship is of high calibre, evident in the meticulous detailing of the mane, hooves, and facial features. The anatomical accuracy and lifelike expression of the horse are indicative of the artisan's mastery over the medium. One of the distinguishing features of this piece is the presence of milky white rocky inclusions on the dorsal region of the horse. These natural inclusions are not only aesthetically pleasing but also add to this jade's uniqueness and value. The surface of the sculpture exhibits a well-developed patina, further authenticating its vintage allure. Such patination is often considered a desirable trait in Chinese vintage works of art, as it adds a layer of textural richness and visual depth. circa: 20th Century
