A PALE CELADON JADE FIGURE OF A BOY QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY |

crouching playfully with his legs bent, his arms curved around a double gourd beneath his lowered chest, the fruit extended into a leafy spray of lingzhi wreathed around the boy's shoulder, his cheerful face detailed with eyes in a slit and a jolly smile, the hair gathered into two twin knots above, the stone of an even pale celadon tone

The boy is in very good condition, with only minute bruising to the extremities such as the eyes and the leafy edges.
