Stork with Branch of Peaches

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sculpture titled "Stork with Branch of Peaches" by an unnamed artist. The sculpture is made of white jade with orange accents. The jade stork stands on one leg while balancing the other leg and foot on its stomach. Its wings are folded against its body. It holds a curved branch with two peaches and green leaves in its beak. The jade stork and branch are on a round dark wooden base with a rope-like design around the edges. A white tag with a string is attached to the base. The background is a solid gray color.
