A CARVED WHITE JADE LYING BUFFALO <br/>18TH CENTURY

A piece entirely crafted from white jade partially covered in brown spots. The jade buffalo lays prostrate on one side. A swirling pattern is incised on Its forehead. Its eyes have a watery quality. Its horns bend backwards, both ends touching the spine that bulges outwards at the neck. The curvature of the spine extends to its long tail, which is curled against its side. A rope runs over its body and connects to a nose ring. Hoofs and protruding ribs are just about visible. The entire form is accurate and vivid, exuding an irresistible artistic charm.
