A flat jade combining two views of a tiger, its body curving with feline suppleness. This tactile piece has horns like a dragon and ears like a cat and is adorned with meticulously worked spirals in relief with a sprinkling of nodules in between.
Ex collection of G.H. Ralph von Koenigswald, acquired around 1939 in Beijing
