Figura de jade tallado "Grullas", dinastía Qing Beautifully carved greenish/yellowish toned jade figure. On an elliptical base a scene with intricate details is arranged, representing stylized cranes, in different postures, in a serene pond, surrounded by large lotuses in bloom and water lilies. All carved with great mastery, it shows incised details such as the plumage of the birds; in relief, such as the scrolls of branches and the sinuous leaves; and openwork, such as the meticulous way in which the birds have been sculpted, elegantly delineated where the perforated elements provide an effect of depth to the piece and also allow the incision of light through the clear jade. In traditional Chinese culture, cranes are a symbol of longevity and good fortune, while the lotus and water lily are associated with purity and spiritual perfection.
