Zhou Parrot

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
