Ram's Head

Sheep head with curled horns
  • Green opaque jade converted to cream in areas with orange suffusion.
  • Carved from the solid with massive roped horns that curl towards the front.
  • Calcification evident in the horns and other recesses.
  • Bottom is recessed about 1cm. This took a lot of effort to achieve - what purpose?
  • This gentle-looking carving is very appealing but quite massive. Was it a paperweight?
  • 16 x 13.5 x 5.75 cm; 1.09 kg.
