A RARE CARVED WHITE JADE 'HEHE ERXIAN' MOUNTAIN BOULDER
QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY
The boulder is exquisitely carved to one side in high relief with a dramatic mountainscape, depicting the Hehe Erxian ascending a steep path on a bridge through a mountainous landscape with overhanging pine and wutong trees. Above them is an open pavilion nestled in the summit cliff. The reverse is carved with large rocky cliffs detailed with a standing egret and another one flying above, shrouded with pine trees and lingzhi blossoms growing from the crevices of the rocks.
7 1/4 in. (18.4 cm.) high, stand, box
