This antique Chinese nephrite jade carving of a reclining lion licking his paw measures 3 1/4 inches long by 1 1/4 inches tall by 1 3/4 to 2 inches in depth.

This carving is a greyish white to celadon color overall. It is accented in the crevices and low areas by brown oxidation.

The quality of the carving is exceptional and much nicer than the photos would indicate.
