Jade chubby boy holding a black cat, early Ming dynasty or earlier, China, c1300-1550. Artist: Unknown

Jade chubby boy holding a black cat, early Ming dynasty or earlier, China, c1300-1550. An off-white jade group of a standing chubby boy holding a greyish-black cat in his arms, its body and feet dangling down. During the Song period, small animals and naturalistic scenes became very popular.  What is apparent is the ability to capture momentary gestures or moods, such as the one here.
