"The Heroine Mu Guiying – Lapidary Sculpture In Malachite And Silver Thread"
This masterful piece in genuine malachite depicts the legendary female general Mu Guiying. An iconic work from the mid-20th century, it captures the heroine in parade armor, ready to take command of the armies. The sculpture beautifully utilizes the stone's natural veining to emphasize the dynamism of the drapery. A rare detail: it rests on its original base of precious wood, finely inlaid with silver thread.
