拍品专文

The fine and expressive carving of this gazelle contrasts delicately moulded eyes and cheeks with the sculptural piercing around the horns. The more simply treated base of the hilt was probably created to preserve the delicately carved upper section, and indicates that it was a highly-treasured possession. For another example of finely carved zoomorphic jade, see lot 117 in the present sale.
