拍品資料及來源
青黃玉質，局部褐斑。犬長身瘦腰，身體捲曲，前肢交疊而臥，凹眼，大耳，尾巴翻捲，背部陰刻肋骨，形態慵懶可愛。
此器雕工簡練，造型溫靜可馴，具時代特色。
工匠以精湛嫻熟的技法，用盡玉料，隨形圓雕。臥犬身體捲曲，與臉部緊湊，玉之皮色與玉色對比，予人溫潤之感。身體修長，雕琢線條流暢。前爪折疊，處於完全放鬆狀態。鑽孔雙眼，如早器玉雕風格。頗有趣味的是，面相簡練如畫，鼻子傾斜。觀此特點及黃玉種類，應為宋晚期之作。
可比較專場另一青玉例，拍品編號3322，同樣造型，但身體瘦弱，面部刻畫簡練，鑽孔眼，曾為熙墀所藏，又見於姜濤及劉雲輝，《熙墀藏玉》，北京，2006年，頁152下。倫敦大英博物館藏一件白玉帶皮臥犬，造型相仿，面部刻畫較為寫實，見 Jessica Rawson，《 Chinese Jade from the Neolithic to the Qing》，倫敦，1995年，圖版26:10。另一例售於倫敦蘇富比1973年11月6日，編號274。
修長身型之類獵犬造型始於唐朝，見於陶製臥犬。玩賞犬形玉把件之人可能想要顯示他的地位及狩獵技能。
