Description
East Asia, China, Republic Period, ca. early 20th century CE. A beautiful figurine of a regal woman that is hand-carved from translucent yellow-white nephrite jade. The standing woman wears a flowing dress with oversized sleeves, holds her left arm behind her back, and gently grasps the handle of an ovoid fan in her right hand. Her visage exhibits almond-shaped eyes, a slender nose, thin lips above a pointed chin, and a lobed, incised coiffure topping her head. An elegant and fabulous example of fine Chinese artistry! Size: 1.4" W x 4.4" H (3.6 cm x 11.2 cm)
