Offered for sale is a beautifully carved Six Dynasties nephrite jade Dragon. Of a pleasing pale green, and exhibiting some signs of compression due to long burial which can be seen as mottled areas around its face and surrounding its hind quarters and tail, this figure is in excellent condition for its age. The dragon is beautifully carved, with wonderful detail on its face, with well carved eyes, a prominent nose and teeth, and a curvaceously carved beard. His front and back feet have carved toes which curl to the underside of the figure, as does his tail. The Chinese characters on its belly were written by the Hong Kong dealer from which he was acquired, and they record his age as Six Dynasties (265 - 589 AD), as does his form. This figure measures 2.5" High at its nose by 1 1/2" Wide across his front haunches by 3 1/4" Deep from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail, and he weighs148 grams (8.61 ounces).
