清十八世紀 白玉「持蓮童子」佩

the white translucent stone carved in the form of a dancing boy, dressed in a robe and pants falling in loose folds over his bent knees, his smiling face turned to one side, clutching a stalk of lotus in each hand, the jade of greenish-white colour with faint russet inclusions and finished with a smooth patina

There are a few tiny nicks to the edge of the lotus leaf behind the boy's shoulder, but overall the carving is in good condition and finished to a fine polish.
