Important Group In Carved Malachite – China, Mid-20th Century

An important sculpted group in intensely green malachite (1560g), displaying the characteristic concentric and banded veins of this mineral. The scene depicts a sage accompanied by a young servant and a mythical animal in a lush vegetal setting adorned with lotus flowers. The carving is exquisitely refined, skillfully exploiting the natural nuances of the stone to highlight the drapery and botanical details. The work rests on a dark wood base finely carved with cloud and arabesque motifs.
