<td width="100%">
Fine Chinese carved natural rock crystal Foo lion, ca. late 18th/early 19th century, Qing dynasty. Dimensions: approx. 60 mm long by 50 mm deep, 40 mm tall. Weight: approx. 4 ounces. Masterfully carved from natural rock crystal in the likeness of a recumbent Foo lion with his head and body turned back. The rock crystal piece was clearly carved with carving tools as the knife cut marks can be easily seen (with the naked eye) throughout the piece. The rock crystal has natural internal crystal structure that appears as tiny clear flecks inside the rock crystal. The crystal is pure, colorless and transparent. This rock crystal carving most likely dates to the late 18th century and no later than the early 19th century. Condition Consensus: Very Fine condition without any injury or repair.
