quatre sujets en jade céladon pâle sculpté Chine, dynastie Qing, XIXE siècle

comprenant une statuette de bouddha assis en dhyanasana, le sommet du crâne incrusté d'une perle, socle en bois sculpté, deux pêches de longévité et feuillage sur leur branche noueuse, une plaque représentant deux papillons affrontés et une fibule escaladé par un chilong sculpté se terminant en un chilong archaïsant

All generally in good condition. The Buddha with natural russet and milky inclusions, an old polished chip below the left knee and some pitted areas on the surface, some nicks above the left ear, the wood stand is associated, the carved peach group with a few nicks to the edges of the leaves and the gnarled branch, the butterfly with a few minor nicks around the edge, the belt hook partly calcified but good otherwise. The actual color is overall slightly darker celadon, less pale than the illustration would suggest in the catalogue.
