清十八 / 十九世紀 白玉鏤雕長壽如意把件

the long-tailed bird depicted grasping a sprig of prunus in its mouth, perched atop a large lingzhi head beside two smaller heads, the wings, tail and top of the lingzhi finely incised, the softly polished stone of an even white color

There is a knock to the leaf of one prunus, otherwise the carving is in overall good condition.
