This 19th Century Shoushan Stone (soapstone) carving measures 6 1/4 inches (15.5 cm) tall by 3 inches (7 cm) wide by 2 inches (5 cm) in depth.
Although Ming in style and motif, it most likely dates to the Middle to late 19th Century (Ching Dynasty) instead.
It is in excellent condition except for a few extremely minor scuffs along a couple of edges.
The subject is an elephant astride a pedestal with low relief Chinese horses carved into shields on each of the four sides.
