Bird with plume and flat beak - Carved in the solid from translucent jade with erosion, wrinkled skin, and traces of cinnebar.
- Carving of feathers very detailed.
- Overall, carving is somewhat stiff feeling despite many naturalistic touches.
- Stands nicely on large, oversized feet-obviously carving was meant to stand up.
- 8 x 4.2 x 5.5cm (l.h.w.)
