Description

Carved from Henan Jade, the Jade Tiger is an ostentatious symbol of wealth and power. We have a small family of these marvellous beasts so there can be some variation in the stone colour although little variation in the shape. With a fierce snarl and a rippling tail, this piece really catches your attention. The colour is mostly a pale green with mottles and veins of darker greens.
