A fine and unusual Yellow Jade 'Hound' Paperweight Yuan / Ming Dynasty

finely carved as a reclining hound with its head turned back to the left and resting on its outstretched front paws, the hind legs tucked under its slender body, the tail curled up alongside its left haunch, its ears, facial features and ribs well defined, the smooth stone of a yellow celadon tone with an attractive marbled light and dark brown inclusion along its right flank
