Los 737 | A WELL-CARVED GREENISH-WHITE JADE 'BUFFALO AND BOY’ GROUP
A WELL-CARVED GREENISH-WHITE JADE 'BUFFALO AND BOY’ GROUP

MING-EARLY QING DYNASTY, 16TH-18TH CENTURY

The group is carved as a recumbent water buffalo with a rope threaded through its nose and running across its haunches, and with a boy playfully climbing onto its back. The boy is shown grasping his straw hat in one hand and a reed stem in the other, with a flute tucked into his belt against his back. The stone is of a pale greenish-white tone with some sparse russet veining cleverly utilized to accent the rope and the buffalo’s back hooves.

5 3/8 in. (13.6 cm.) wide
