清十八世紀 白玉靈猴獻壽把件

well worked in the form of a seated monkey with both hands holding a peach to its right ear, a smaller monkey clambering beside holding a leafy lingzhi stem, both detailed with a wrinkled forehead and finely incised hairs along the spine, the stone of an even greyish-white colour with light brown highlights

There is a very tiny polished chip to the tip of a leaf and some minor nicks to the extremities, otherwise the carving is in overall good condition.
