Image Number: K1C000723N000000000PAB
Dynasty: Song dynasty
Category: Jades
Function: a decoration
Material: Mineral/jade jewelry/hornblende
Description:
The sapphire has a smooth and moist texture, which is a thin path. The forelimbs are overlapped, the back is arched, and the joints and textures are clearly visible, which fully shows the lean and strong posture of the hound. The hind limbs are longer than the forelimbs and slightly raised, giving a sense of strength that people are ready to go. The eyes are round and shallow, which is a special treatment, just like the Liao Dynasty jade beasts from the Baiyinhan cellar in Bahrain Right Banner.
