Bird with Hammer Beak 1

 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.)
