About the Item

This finely carved grouping of an adult and young bird is carved from a molted green and white jade. The carving also displays a snail and a small mythical beast all resting on a leafy tree branch. The stone's natural color has been used to further enliven the grouping, an excellent sign of the lapidary artist's skill. The entire carving is compact though tall and is well done with detail and motion. The group sits on a specially carved and pierced hardwood base designed to enhance and hold it.
