Description

A reticulated table (a) ornament of off-white and red jadeite with a fitted wooden (b) stand. The decoration is a boy on winged dragon. Chinese dragons after the Ming did not have wings. The piece is probably a product of non-Chinese origin. The stand is broken in one spot, and mended in another.

Credit Line Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Paul K. Addams, 1981
