This stunning White Jade Praying Mantis shows exceptional jade carving skills from Qing Dynasty. The natural russet color inclusions of the stone on the bottom have been integrated into the composition of the layer of the flowers and leaves. All sides of the stone have been intricately carved. The head faces front and the piercing eyes immediately catch one's attention.


A nicely carved flower is on top of the mantis, which completes the esthetic value of this piece.

The jade is in very good condition with hardly any signs of age and wear.
