Monumental Chinese Spinach Jade Recumbent Tang Horse Rocky Variations 20th Cent.
About the Item
A monumental size (14kg) Chinese recumbent Tang Horse, circa mid to late 20th Century, possibly older. The sculpture is executed in Spinach Jade, a material highly prized for its deep green hue and symbolic significance. The horse is depicted in a laying-down posture.
The craftsmanship is of high calibre, evident in the meticulous detailing of the mane, hooves, and facial features. The anatomical accuracy and lifelike expression of the horse are indicative of the artisan's mastery over the medium.
One of the distinguishing features of this piece is the presence of milky white rocky inclusions on the dorsal region of the horse. These natural inclusions are not only aesthetically pleasing but also add to this jade's uniqueness and value.
The surface of the sculpture exhibits a well-developed patina, further authenticating its vintage allure. Such patination is often considered a desirable trait in Chinese vintage works of art, as it adds a layer of textural richness and visual depth.

Vintage Chinese Finely Carved Yellow Pixiu Archaic Dragon Seal w/Stand 20th Cent
Located in Richmond, CA
This vintage Chinese seal is an exquisite example of craftsmanship, intricately carved to feature a Pixiu, the legendary son of the dragon, perched majestically atop a square mound. The Pixiu is vividly depicted, complete with water flowing from its mouth and eyes that bulge with mythical intensity.
