Lot 199: A Chinese Jade Carving of a Stylised Bird...
A Chinese Jade Carving of a Stylised Bird Figure.
The carving is formed as a recumbent bird with a long curved beak and elongated neck, the body rounded and resting low. The wings are finely incised with layered feather details, extending toward a tapering tail that curves gently along the ground.
The head is turned slightly forward, with the beak arcing downward in a smooth, continuous line. Subtle carved detailing defines the plumage across the shoulders and wings, with linear incisions accentuating the feather structure.
L: Approximately 7.3cm
