Tiger 6

Crouching tiger with curled tail
  • White opaque jade with red-brown glaze, calcification, pitting and cracks.
  • Decoration in thread relief consists of interconnected lines and hooks with nibs on the ends of some lines.
  • Behind the eyes (small dots in relief) is a rectangular thing - perhaps upright ears?
  • Three shield-like reliefs decorate the back, while double chevrons lie on each side of the tail.
  • This is a solid, almost ugly little carving in the round.
  • 7.71 x 2.41 x 1.45 cm.
