Huge Jade Unicorn or Sin-you, China
Click the photo above for a larger version and more pictures
This is a huge, 78-pound stunning piece that is either a Chinese unicorn with styling from the Ming Dynasty or a Sin-you that is symbolic of justice and truth. Sin-you’s are mythological creatures from East Asia. Hand carved from nephrite and was in a private home in Changchun (northeast of Beijing). Age unknown but most likely early to mid-1900s. You can determine the true value of the Nephrite with a gemologist but I am sure its value is many times the price. The aesthetic value is very high. Just look at the texture, the shape and the colors! Phenomenal! Serious Collector.
