A SMALL CHINESE YELLOW JADE MODEL OF A RECUMBENT HOUND
SONG/MING DYNASTY
The stone is carved in the form of a recumbent dog with a long slender body, its ribs detailed with ridges; the stone is of a greenish-yellow tone with areas of dark russet, 4.6cm.
Jade carvings of recumbent hounds can be found from as early as the Tang dynasty. The present piece belongs to a group of distinctive jade animals delicately carved in naturalistic poses, popular from the Song to the early Qing dynasty.
