In the old deceased collector's entry; A very old & fine small Chinese jade carving, a reclining feline, ancient and likely from the Han Dynasty of circa 1st-2nd century AD. (possibly that, certainly ancient, we prefer to cite it here at least as old as the Ming Dynasty of 14th - 17th century AD). A wonderful and most charming hard stone carving of two color native Chinese nephrite jade, what it lacks in size, is powerfully compensated in dynamics, a true jewel, very tactile, its exceptional features worn smooth from centuries of handling. It is in fine condition, has an original bow drilled hole for hanging as pendant or pectoral between its front paws.Now, as property of his very old wife, the rest home won't allow this big & mostly serious antique and art collection, so, this and many others to be offered here, all at particularly modest prices. Moving all to our premises, any questions concerning your wants, likely we can say about some good examples and get them offered here
