Elephant 3

Pair of respectant elephants
  • Light green semi-translucent jade with brown glaze and some calcification; some suffusion on bottom parts.
  • Matched pair with a through hole for suspension, although the carving stands up perfectly well.
  • Features are accurately rendered in high relief.
  • Rather naturalistic rendering of animal; no obvious decorative touches.
  • Age uncertain - perhaps late Ming.
  • 5.9 x 4.8 x 3.2 cm.
