AN EXTRAORDINARY AND RARE PALE CELADON JADE MOUNTAIN

QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY

清十八世紀 青白玉雕靈岳絕壁圖山子

strikingly modelled as a scholar's rock, carved from a large boulder and cleverly incorporating the natural flaws of the stone, the precipitous mountain landscape with lingzhi and a single tree growing among rocky ledges, the deep crevices steeply leading to sharp peaks, the finely polished stone of an even color with some natural white inclusions

Height 11⅝ in., 29.4 cm
