A CELADON JADE PIG
Jade. China, Han dynasty, 206 BC – 220 AD
The stone is carved as a recumbent pig with a flat snout and pointed ears. It is decorated with deep, slanting grooves that delineate the front and rear legs which are tucked underneath the body. This design is a characteristic of the Han period. The elongated tubular carving with a flat base, the head with articulated nose, above the straight-cut stern is a tiny tail. The stone is of a celadon tone with russet veins and cloudy-white inclusions.
