A coral figure of an immortal and tiger
Late 19th/early 20th century
The willowy beauty carrying a peony branch in her left hand, a cloud-form sash holding a teapot, a twin-fish tied endless knot affixed to her back, she leans forward toward the tiger she has tethered to a chain held in her right hand, the feline resting on a network of bajixiang, supported on a separately carved tinted ivory base.
8 1/4in (21cm) high
