A WHITE JADE ’CHILONG’ RHYTON
LATE MING DYNASTY, 16TH-17TH CENTURY
The stone is well carved with the vessel emerging from the jaws of a dragon-carp with its twisted, bifurcated tail forming a handle to one side. Two chilong are depicted coiling around the exterior with another dragon clambering up the side and peering over the rim. The semi-translucent stone is of a pale greyish-white tone with some minor russet inclusions.
