Goose, 16th century, 5 3/4 x 7 1/2 in. (14.61 x 19.05 cm), Gray-green nephrite with brown markings, China, 16th century, Auspicious animals carved in the round, often following the contours of the jade pebble from which they were formed, were extremely popular during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). This image of a goose grasping a lotus flower is remarkable for its size, as well as for the colors of the stone. Although the surface is finely worked in meticulous detail, there remains a strong sense of the Ming preference for natural, organic shapes and an understated carving technique.
