A WHITE JADE FINGER CITRON

QING DYNASTY, QIANLONG PERIOD (1736-1795)

LENGTH: 9.9CM

The superbly polished translucent-white jade is naturalistically carved in the form of a finger citron issuing from an openwork leafy stem. The gnarled textured surface imitates the rind of the fruit. The white jade surface has been enhanced with occasional russet patches to conceal minor flaws.
