A CARVED WHITE JADE MYTHICAL BEAST AND LINGZHI
QIANLONG PERIOD (1736-1795)

The round figure of this beast is crafted from a pristine block of Hetian white jade. The beast is lying down with its head looking backwards. It features “lucky ears”, thick eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a lion’s nose, and a single horn protruding from its forehead. A ganoderma branch hangs from its mouth. The contours of the beast’s muscles are vivid. Its legs are tucked under its body, only revealing its claws. Along its hip, there is a three-pointed tail. This unique, accurately proportioned piece is a classic sculpture of an imaginary animal.
