A RARE LARGE GREY JADE MODEL OF A MYTHICAL BIRD

The chest is carved with overlapping scalloped feathers, while the wings and tail are detailed with dense, parallel line striations. The stone exhibits a smooth, satin-like age patina throughout. 中國，宋至明，長 23 釐米。 由一塊碩大厚重的深灰夾褐斑整料圓雕而成，體型碩大殊為難得。神鳥造型融鴿形身軀與飄曳長鳳尾為一體。胸羽層疊作扇邊紋，雙翼與尾羽滿飾密集平行線紋。通體包漿細潤，呈綢緞般光澤。 來源：盧加諾，瑪蒂娜・埃麗卡・斯皮卡，2007 年（附證書，證書定漢代）瑞士私人收藏 druck bild
