Boy with water buffalo

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White jade sculpture of a boy with water buffalo. The boy sits on the back of a water buffalo. The boy faces left and sits on the left side of the buffalo, with his legs dangling to the left. The boy wears a hat. The water buffalo kneels on all fours and faces right. The sculpture sits on a gray surface with a white border to the right. The background fades from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. A subtle shadow falls to the right of the sculpture.
