From our extensive Jade collection, here is another one to add to someones important collection. This piece was carved in the period of "Republic of China" 1911-1949. This jade piece is natural without treatments or enhancements. It is a superb piece of jade decoration. The color play on these pieces are fantastic. When the master carver first acquire a piece of jade rough, he has no idea what colors are inside. Once you carve into it, you will have to improvise as you go. The results as you can see is exceptional. We have a grey cat, a grey spider, green grass and a locust that is a different color than the green grass. It is amazing how the master carver can incorporate all that into this piece of art. This piece is titled "Survival of the fittest" The meaning behind this carving is associated with being a winner. Winning in life, winning in business and being the victor in everything you do. Jadeite comes in many different colors and green has the highest demand.

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. This natural Jade carvings (2 pieces) weighs around 2Kg. The base is made of wood and by itself is a beautiful piece of art. It weights about 1Kg. The total weight of the jade carvings and the wood base is about 3kg.
