About the Item
A captivating white jade carving of a mythical unicorn beast, depicted in a crouching stance with its head raised, exuding an aura of strength and mysticism. The creature’s bulging eyes and cloud-like eyebrows add to its commanding presence, while its turtle-like stomach and elegantly split tail enhance the dynamic form. The jade exhibits a pale celadon-white translucency, a highly sought-after quality in fine jade carvings.
Intricately detailed with jaw teeth and finely carved toes, this piece is expertly polished, reflecting the craftsmanship of Chinese jade artistry. Mythical beasts such as this were revered for their protective and fortune-bringing properties, making them prized possessions among collectors.
