Description:
|
Carved of yellow nephrite, the duck shows a brownish tinge on its head, waist, and two feet. Although the carving is extremely simple, it evidently illustrates the big and upward-pointing butt of the duck, thus making it more lively and adorable. It tempts one to relax and appreciate nature.
