This is a nicely carved, beautiful Chinese jade in the shape of a Lingzhi fungus - a symbol of immortality - decorated around the stem with scrolling openwork of two mythological beasts and additional small Lingzhi fungus. Often, this type of item is used as a contemplation focal point and called, among other things, a Suiseki. The stone has a wonderful greenish tint with evidence of a desireable warm, brownish skin.

Included is the carved wood stand that has a matching motif ...... $300.00
