White Jade Chicken Three-ear Jar

[White Jade Pheasant Three-ear Jar]

White Jade Pheasant Three-ear Jar, Tang Dynasty, 6.4 cm high, 4.9 cm caliber, 7.5 cm abdominal diameter
The pot is made of white jade, with three square holes carved on the round mouth, drum belly, circle foot and foot wall. The surface of the instrument is decorated with 3 days chicken at equal distance, which is in the upright shape of spreading wings. The head is carved in a round shape. The wings and claws are embossed on the body of the instrument. The feather texture is carved with the black line, and the lines are simple and smooth
The shape of Tianji in the Qing Dynasty is characterized by tendrils in the front and hanging phoenix tail at the back. The design and shape of the rooster on this device still retains a relatively original image. Except for the painstakingly carved wings, the phoenix tail and tendrils have not yet appeared. Such shaped Tianji works of the Tang Dynasty are very rare.
