Upright parrot with crest and large beak - Translucent jade is covered with calcification over red suffusion with wide-spread pitting.
- Very substantial, block-like piece is almost three dimensional; stands up on feet and tail with ease.
- Thread relief is very uniform and definite.
- Carving is oval in cross-section, and tapers slightly longitudinally.
- It feels rather massive in the hand; the decorative relief strikes me as uninspired, mechanical.
- 8.9 x 3.9 x 1.49 cm
