A small cast glass statuette of a mythical beast. The figurine has been cast in one piece, with some of the details which have been finished by hand. The superb rendering of the beast's details provides evidence of the skills of the artisan who made it. This statuette is a fine piece of work of the Qing Dynasty. The colourless glass resembles the purity and brilliance of naturally occurring rock-crystal, with which figurines of similar shape were made by carving during the same period, and which likely provided the inspiration for this piece.
