20th Century Hardstone Carving of an Animal Height: 5 cm This small sculpture is carved from pale hardstone in the form of a seated animal. The figure presents a compact and rounded body, with the head slightly raised and the mouth open, echoing the stylized features of traditional auspicious beasts. The stone is smooth and finely polished, with natural yellowish-brown inclusions cleverly incorporated to accentuate the facial features and limbs. The carving displays fluid lines and careful modeling, reflecting the continued influence of classical motifs in 20th-century craftsmanship.
