Treasure Blog: The Emperor's Jade Water Buffalo

Found in a bank vault where it had been stored for safekeeping for decades, a jade carving of a water buffalo probably made for the Chinese emperor Qianlong.

It's gorgeous:



The carving is expected to bring over £500,000 at auction.

    It is beautiful. Wish I could afford it. But all Obama is giving me, as a retiree, is $250 measly bucks.
