GOOD JADE CAMEL

 

Famous as the "Ship of the Desert," noted for bringing raw jade from Hetian to the carving areas in East China, the two hump camel is highly respected in Chinese culture. This fine example is recumbent and looking slightly right, the nephrite jade a medium celadon with tan tone on left side, well carved and very expressive. From an old Virginia collection. Another view here, bottom here.
