A rock crystal carving of a lion and cub group. 18th/19th

His head turned back, with bulging eyes framed by bushy eyebrows and a ruyi-shaped snout, the mouth slightly open exposing a row of teeth, the mane finely carved and incised falling in cascading curls along his left flank, his ridged spine leading to the bushy tail, the cub resting on its back looking at a peony. The translucent stone with few natural inclusions. Wooden base.
