About item 76
Pair of Phoenix with floral landscape sculpted of translucent to opaque soft lavender and mottled green jadeite.
The lapidary has chiseled this floral with openwork all around from a single stone.
Rising from the base of a tree trunk intricately carved long tailed birds perch on the branches of a blossoming prunus representing joy and peace. The phoenix and prunus appearance together are associated with the summer tradition of ancient China.
