A CARVED CELADON JADE ELEPHANT
QING DYNASTY |
Carved from a greenish-white block of jade, this round sculpture is partially covered in brown spots. In a standing position and with head lowered, this large elephant has its front legs slightly bent with its long nose touching the ground. It features curved tusks and two large ears. Hung over its back is a saddle, which is decorated with the traditional five bat patterns, which serve as symbols for longevity. A Hu man stands beside the elephant, holding a precious vase containing ganoderma branches decorated with jewels - a token of peace and prosperity. This large jade elephant exudes an aura of magnificence, making it an ideal decorative item for homes. |
