清十八世紀 青白玉立馬擺件

carved standing foursquare on an oval base, the head with incised mane lowered as if eating grass and the long bushy tail extending to the ground, the back drilled for attachment, the stone of pale celadon colour

There is a tiny bruise to the back of the oval base, otherwise the jade horse is in overall good condition.
