White Jade Crouching Dog

[White Jade Crouching Dog]

Song, 1.5 cm in height, 5.6 cm in length and 3 cm in width
White jade, semi-round sculpture, flat bottom. The dog is lying, thin and bare-bone, looks back and rolls its tail, ties its collar, and hangs a bell on it
The greatest feature of jade ware in the Song Dynasty is its strong flavor of life and folk customs, which can be seen from the neck ring and bell tied by the jade dog. The decorative patterns of the jade dog in the Song Dynasty are transitional and smooth. The overall appearance is mellow and lovely, and the polishing is fine but not firm. This is different from the jade dog in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
