A RARE LARGE PAIR OF JADEITE 'BOYS' PILLOWS

QING DYNASTY, 19TH CENTURY

Each pillow is modelled as a kneeling boy with its arms crossed across the chest, holding a mouth organ, sheng, in one hand and a lotus sprig in the other below three stems that continue over the shoulder to the edge of the large lotus leaf with radiating veins draped over the back atop two lotus stems that emerge on either side, one bearing a flower, the other a tight bud, with bangles encircling their wrists and ankles. The stone is of a mottled pale greenish-white and apple-green colour with some russet veins.

10 1/4 in. (26 cm.) long
