Lot Description:An archaic style jade sculpture of a large preying mantis
stylised form, mid-green tone with tan speckled highlights. Length 250. -
Notes:The lot is part of a collection of 'archaic' Chinese items from a family collection started by the father upon his return from WWII. His stopover in China started his interest in ancient Chinese artefacts and the collection was continued by the subsequent generation. The family notes that there is difficulty in accurately attributing age to many items. Buyers must satisfy themselves as to the age and authenticity of any items.
