Antique Chinese Carving Jade Or Coral Animal.
A 200 year old stone, possibly jade or coral, or some other precious stone, in a rare redish rose color. Magnificently carved with a filigree see through design. Very intricate. Showing a 4 legged animal with other shapes. The animal is on top of discs. Friends, the carving is very old. Deserves to be in a museum. Sometime around 1900 it was made into a finial for an expensive lamp, given the high quality. There are no damages or breaks. Artistically applied with bronze so it could be screwed on top of a lamp.
