Crafted from an exquisite block of Hetian white jade, this beast figure is covered partially in brown spots. With neck bent and head turned, the beast gazes downward across its back. Its hooves are tucked underneath its body. With a bushy mane running neatly along the back of its neck, the beast has a strong body, stout limbs, and a long tail extended along its hip. It is clear that this figure is not an animal from this world. Although it resembles a horse or camel, it could pass for an exotic animal that has yet to be discovered, and only exists in people’s imaginations for now.
