As long as 2,000 years ago, beautiful jade glass was highly valued throughout China. Indeed, many of the most magnificient works of art created during the early dynasties were hand-carved jade glass sculptures. Now, much in the manner of their ancestors, a small number of highly-skilled Chinese craftsmen sculpt molten jade glass by hand to achieve the incredible detail that makes these remarkable miniatures so fascinating. The collection includes two different sculptures of each of the six different guardian animals -- one standing, the other sitting -- just as they appear on the Spirit Road. At midnight, according to legend, the ones that had been standing watch all day changed places with their counterparts who had been resting.
