Lavender and Green, translucent Jadeite Monumental Carving of a Pomegranate Tree Guarded by Foo Dogs. Jade Carving in Deep Relief.
An exquisite monumental size carving of a Pomegranate tree surrounded by other fruit and flower bearing trees and shrubs guarded by two Foo dogs.
In Oriental symbology, pomegranate fruit is full of the seeds ready to burst into new life.
The Beauty of this tree is enhanced with flowering shrubs by its roots. The Tree also supports many other forms of life, such as Birds nesting in its branches.
This Sculpture is executed with tremendous attention to detail from an unusually large piece of Lavender Jadeite; thoroughly carved from all sides.
