Mr. Bernstein:
Thank you for allowing me to post the picture of the beautiful "Recumbent Buffalo" black Khotan jade carving rendered by Mr. Shen Quan in this forum for educational purpose. When I first saw it I was captivated by its beauty and was awed with the artist's ability in expressing the serenity of the buffalo with such simplicity and effortlessness.
To find a piece of black Khotan nephrite jade in such quality and size and to have a dedicated artist at his peak to dedicate with more than a year's time in rendering it is undoubtedly an once in a life time opportunity and therefore this piece is truly a unique masterpiece.
Thank you for sharing it with us! I really appreciate your geneorsity.
