Notes

This Jade is the same series with the Martial Artist and the Seated Dancers, having the same style of carving and material. Note the following:

01. The posture of the Jade Acrobat doing his routine is a hardly seen Jade.

02. The performer is wearing a cap.

03. There is a smile on the face and the fiqure is diminutive,suggesting a dwarf,which is the norm as performers in Old China.

All in all, an unusual Jade. Visit the Friends of Jade website to broaden your Jade knowledge.
