Certified Nephrite White Jade Mythical Creature, Heatian River Pebble Material

About the Item

For your consideration is a certified natural nephrite jade. This jade carving is of a Chinese mythical beast or creature of very high quality. Traditionally Chinese mythical creatures are regarded as auspicious creatures that possessed mystical powers capable of drawing wealth from all directions. The famous Hetian nephrite jade carving is close to being pure white. It is semi polished to a matte finish. The carving is exceptional. It has superb "hand feel". The piece is singed, however, we do not know the master carver. The lines are sharp and the proportions eye pleasing. On one side near the back area, the master jade carver left a patch of "jade skin" visible. This is to show undoubtably that the material is river jade. Superb Hetian river material with the jade skin is of high high demand. The jade skin is the tell tell sign that it is river material. Jade material from the river is much more sought after than mountain material because over thousands of years being in the river, the jade is naturally polished and a jade skin has developed. Like all things natural and un-enhanced, there are inclusions. These inclusions are under the surface. It is a great piece for investors and connoisseurs looking to collect world class Jade. This will be the center piece of any Jade collection. The jade carving weighs about 160 grams. It measures around 9.1x3x3.8cm The photo (#2) with the jade carving in hand best represents the correct color of the jade. Please refer to the many high definition photos for more details. We can also provide a HD video. We are 3rd going on 4th generation in the jewelry business. You would expect that many of our items to be described accurately and the real items will look better than any photos we can take. You can buy with confidence. Thank you for your consideration.

White Jade Mythical Beast
By Artistian Made
Located in San Diego, CA
Carved out of white and yellow-toned jade, this beautiful mythical beast rests on its four limbs like a lion in the Serengeti. Each limb is given finely-carved claws and a round pad on the paw. On its head, one can see intricately carved teeth, nostrils, a goatee, and a mythical cloud-like pattern above its eyebrows. Notably, there is a half-dome extrusion representing a third eye positioned between the eyes. Nine ridges of the spine run along the back with finely-carved fur on each side. The three-tipped tail curls up toward the head. Its surface is exceptionally polished with a patina. The bottom of the jade beast has multi-layered ivory-colored inclusions. Historical References: Compare this jade mythical beast to similar 18th century pieces from the Metropolitan Museum in New York. In this 18th century lion and cub, notice the similar shape of ears, hair and ridges along the spine, and the cloud-patterned eyebrows. The distinct ears of our jade beast can also be seen on this 18th century jade beast too. Pictures attached. In addition, please examine this 18th century jade lion...
