A Russet Jade 'Fish-Dragon' Group Carving Qing Dynasty, 17th / 18th Century

deftly carved as a fish-dragon emerging from tumultuous waves, its mouth slightly opened revealing its curved tongue, a flaming pearl fittingly placed between its mouth and curved tail, a chilong clambering sinuously on the left of the fish-dragon, the stone of a beige tone accented with russet and dark brown patches
