Horse
A small carving in pale white-green jade shows a horse lying on its belly with its legs folded under and its head turned sharply to one side. Fine incised lines mark the mane and tail, and russet staining runs along the flank and shoulder.
Look closer: Fine incised lines on the tail and the russet staining along the flank are easy to overlook.
