A CARVED YELLOW JADE MYTHICAL BEAST <br/>MING DYNASTY

Carved from a single block of topaz, a part of the carving is covered in a brown patch. The auspicious beast lies with its head turned to one side, and its jaws rest lightly across its front legs. The drilled opening between the two legs can used to hang a string to be worn as necklace. The beast has lucky ears, and two parallel lines are located on its forehead, imbuing the beast with a fresh and lively spirit. Its eyes gaze directly forward, giving off a childish and lovable appearance. This is a fine work of art that is capable of healing the soul.
