A WHITE JADE 'SAN YANG' GROUP QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY |

in the form of a recumbent ram grasping a large lingzhi stalk in its mouth, the blooming end of the fungus resting on the animal's back and supporting a yin-yang symbol, two baby rams curled up by their parent's chest, the rams' horns, fur, and hooves neatly carved, the stone an even pale green color

The carving is in good condition overall. There are minute nicks along some of the hoof-edges and the surface, with appropriate minor wear, has been lightly polished to an even, lustrous finish.
