This is a statue carved in the form of a royal court attendant. The style is from the Tang Dynasty.
Carved from Hetian jade – a form of nephrite. From the western province of Xinjiang, Hotan District, near the Kulun Mountains. The caramel color is just gorgeous.
The statue is in perfect condition. Circa mid-1900’s… or perhaps earlier. Stand not included. 11.5″ tall x 4″ at widest.
