A FINELY CARVED YELLOW JADE 'THREE RAMS' GROUP
QING DYNASTY (1644-1911)
The jade is powerfully carved in the round, depicting a young ram playfully clambering on the back of a recumbent adult. The largest ram is depicted emiting a wispy cloud scroll from its mouth, gathering to support a yin-yang symbol floating on its back. The well-polished stone is of an even yellow tone with small areas of russet skin and opaque inclusions.
6 in. (16 cm.) wide, box
