A WHITE AND RUSSET JADE ARCHAISTIC 'MYTHICAL BEAST' PLAQUE
MING-EARLY QING DYNASTY, 16TH-18TH CENTURY
The thick, flattened plaque is carved as a recumbent beast shown facing forward with open jaws, a single horn that sweeps back from the brow, an upward-curved tail that is scrolled at the tip, and is decorated on the sides with archaistic motifs and thread-relief scrolls that define the legs. The white stone has some small areas of russet color.
3 ¼ in. (8.3 cm.) wide
