A YELLOW JADE OX

MING DYNASTY (1368-1644)

LENGTH: 8CM

The buffalo is carved in recumbent position, its ribbed horns curled behind the raised head and revealing a gentle smile. The undulating spine ending in a bushy tail curled to the right over his hind haunch. The colour of the jade is overall translucent greenish yellow with a patch of brownish black skin covering the head and extending to the back of the buffalo.
