AN EXTREMELY FINE WHITE AND RUSSET JADE CARVING OF PAIRED LOVEBIRDS

SONG-YUAN DYNASTY (AD 960-1368)

The pair is formed as two lovebirds joined at the sides, with heads turned towards each other and beaks touching. The feathers are finely incised and the tucked legs are well delineated. A tiny inscription is etched onto the edge of the right bird's tail, reading Xiuneisi yu zuo suo (the imperial jade workshop of Xiuneisi). The white stone with satiny polish is of even tone and has patches of brown accenting the birds' heads.

2 3/8 in. (6 cm.) long, cloth box
