Dog

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white jade carving titled "Dog" by an unknown artist. The carving depicts a dog lying on its side. The dog's head is rounded and its ears are carved folded back. The eyes and mouth are not detailed. Its body is carved with simple lines to indicate ribs and muscles. The dog's front left leg is stretched out in front. The carving has a smooth texture and appears to be made of white jade. A darker spot is on the dog's right side. The background of the image is dark gray.
