buja100gh-Antique Chinese nephrite Foo dog belt buckle

Still bearing the official red wax seal required for export of Chinese antiques, this icy green nephrite Foo dog is a beautiful example of a Chinese carving in a larger format. Details including the eyebrows ribcage and claws can be seen on close examination. There is a small chip on the back of the belt buckle but it is impossible to see from the front. A large and unusual piece.
