清十八 / 十九世紀 白玉「馬上封侯」佩

carved in the form of a recumbent horse, its head turned sharply to the left with its legs tucked beneath, its bushy tail wrapped around its left haunch, with a small monkey clambering on its back playfully grasping its halter with both hands, the greenish-white translucent stone finished with a smooth polish, wood stand

The group carving is overall in very good condition with the exception of only a small nick to the tip of the horse's left ear.
