Absolutely Stunning HAND CARVED Chinese Soapstone Figure

RABBIT AND CRANE

So Unusual- Rabbit Is Holding A Fly Whisk In His Mouth, Which Is The Symbol For Sweeping Away Ignorance

Crane Is Holding A Bag Of Coins In His Mouth, Symbol Of Prosperity

All carved from one block

Wonderful 3-D Details Such As Open Space Beneath The Crane's Neck

Gorgeous Deep Brown Burnished Color, this carving is older and so has lost the chalky soapy feel of new carvings and has taken on a mellow, hard stone feel with some glossy sheen. Some subtle darker veins in the stone.

A stunning and auspicious combination of animals in one piece.

Very lucky. 

Size Approx. 2.5"Tall, 2.5" Wide, great dimensions

Base 2.5" x 2"

Excellent Condition- absolutely no damage scratches or flaws but for one miniscule tiny blip to the top left ear of rabbit- barely visible and it may actually be a carved detail. See all pics and use zoom as pics are part of description. Beautiful color and patina to this piece, very heavy. Old.

 Great for a collector and will look lovely on display-

Very charming. I believe this was originally created as a Marriage gift piece.

Please note the following, dear fellow shopping enthusiasts:

I strive to give you the best service possible. I am not a dealer or professional, just a lifelong collector and enthusiast. I only list items that I think are unique and of good quality. I represent my items as accurately and clearly as I can, and believe it is always better for you to have too much information than not enough! Please ask any questions before bidding, I will happily respond.

Remember, these are vintage items and will have reasonable signs of age and wear which only adds to their personality, appeal and "funky vintage-ness". They are not in their original boxes unless noted. I do not excessively clean items or remove age patina, as I want to leave that option for the buyer.

I will promptly ship your item within 1 business day and post great positive feedback for you once payment is received.

Go Green! I try to re-use clean, almost-new shipping boxes when possible.

I will gladly combine shipping on multiple items for you.
