A WHITE JADE TWIN PHOENIX GROUP QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY The stone is carved in the round in openwork. A pair of phoenix are perched on a jagged rock base in opposing directions, each with its head turned to look at the other. One clasps a spray of flowering peonies, its long tail feathers trailing gracefully to the ground in delicate curls, while the other grasps a lingzhi spray in the beak and shows its fine plumage by curving upwards its long elaborate tail. The wings are detailed with incised lines and the stone is of pale greenish-white tone with chalky white inclusions. 7 1/2 in. (19.1 cm.) long, wood stand, box
