AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Chinese jadeite sculpture, the dragon-dog below on dark green-black, with the upper part in white marble with bluish undertones, clearly assembled for those less discerning since, being different stones, the sculpture is composed of pieces rather than a single piece, but there are no visible traces of glue or joints.
The indicated price is much lower, even than current productions and imitations. The production period is approximate; given that it was recovered in the 1980s in the Orient, it is surely older. There are no breaks but small marks not detectable by touch.
Underneath is a probable dark nephrite dragon-dog, the vase in white jadeite with children and birds on the cap. A piece for serious collectors.
