Apsara 2

Airborn figure with flowing scarf and clouds
  • Translucent white jade covered with white skin and calcification.
  • Right 'arm' appears truncated or broken; could be intentionally shortened for symmetry; vague 'hand' is carved at end of arm.
  • Has circular buns on top of head; must have some meaning in Buddhist iconography.
  • Cloud scrolls are distinct perhaps indicating an earlier date.
  • 10.5 x 6.9 x 1.46cm
