DRAGON IN CLOUDS

Jade. China, Qing-Dynasty, 19th cent. A meticulously worked white jade, with a light green-grey tone. The work may be rendered in the round, however, more closely resembles a pedant. The dragon's head is bearded with large spherical eyes and a horn, the twisted body somewhat concealed and perplexing, shared by many small clouds or clawed legs; the tail thereafter a volute. In the uppermost area, two elements stick of from the body, possibly conceived as wings. Very good translucency as well as state of preservation, outstanding polish. LENGTH 10,4 CM
