Pale celadon color jade with russet inclusions, smooth surface polish China, 17th / 18th century This jade pebble is carved in the shape of a Buddhist lion, in a recumbent posture. The beast has its head turned to grasp its own tail and thereby reveals a reticulated fang. The face with the bulging eyes, flared nostrils and wavy ears is expressively captured. At the curve of the tail and between the front paws are two small reticulated areas, for suspension.
