A JADEITE FIGURE OF “MAGU GIVES HER BIRTHDAY GREETINGS”
QING DYNASTY

Carved from a single block of Myanmar jadeite, Magu wears a bun in her hair, which is split in the middle as it falls across her back. With an oval face, high nose, and small mouth, she has delicate facial features. Wearing a tightly fitted robe with wide sleeves, the folds of her clothes seems to be flowing, adding a fresh look to the ancient appearance. Her arms are held high and crossed over to the right side, while holding a basket filled with fresh peaches. The theme of “Magu gives her birthday greetings” is vividly manifested on the sculpture. This jade ornament is embellished with smooth lines, revealing a curved and elegant stance. This is indeed an exquisite piece of work that cannot be put down once held.
