Chinese Carnelian Sculpture: Pair Of Roosters
This refined sculpture, dating from the 1950s and masterfully carved from carnelian with fiery hues, depicts a pair of roosters symbolizing vigilance and courage. The artisan skillfully exploited the stone's natural structure to create a captivating interplay of light, where amber translucency meets the depth of an earthy red. The exquisite detail, from the plumes of the tails to the relief of the combs, combined with the silky polish of the agate, makes this piece a vibrant testament to mid-20th-century hardstone art, evoking both the nobility of the material and the brilliance of wildlife.
