Jade bird with lingzhi, bulb and prunus, early Qing dynasty, probably Kangxi period, China, 1662-1722. An oblong white jade pebble carved as a long tailed bird on top of two lingzhi fungi with prunus spray and bulb with berries. There is extensive carving of the details. The orange skin of the stone has been used to good effect for the bird's head, the prunus and fungus. The combination of decorative elements creates a rebus: 'To have longevity'.
