A PALE CELADON JADE FIGURE OF LIU HAI QING DYNASTY, 18TH/19TH CENTURY

carved standing with the left knee raised, the right hand holding a broom, his left arm raised holding a string of coins over his shoulder with a three-legged toad perched atop, the stone of an even pale celadon tone mottled with russet-brown inclusions

The carving is in very good condition with the exception of two small nicks to the bottom lower edge of the robes to the rear. It should be noted that the stone is of a slightly more celadon tone than the catalogue illustration would suggest.
