A reticulated openwork hand carved natural earth mined untreated jadeite jade pendant circa 1800. The
front of the pendant is carved beautifully with a flowing design
depicting clouds and a dragon, ruyi and lingzhi. On the reverse an
intricate pierced lattice design decorates the entire surface of the
jade. Here the carver showcased their skill beautifully by leaving the
interior completely hollow. There is a hole at either end to wear as an
amulet. It measures approximately 1 7/8" long by 1 5/16" wide
and is 7/16" thick (48mm x 33mm x 11mm) weighing 30.5 grams. There is
some slight asymmetry to the carving consistent being a one of a kind
handmade antique pendant. This exquisite jadeite pendant is in
lovely condition. It is hand carved and hand polished. The jadeite
selected to carve has unique vibrant green coloration occurring in
random almost ombre splashes across the front of the pendant. The
lighter jadeite surrounding the vivid green coloration has subtle green
clouds and streaks being a fresh pale celadon green. Of heirloom
quality this auspicious jadeite amulet is a one of a kind antique. It
would make the perfect gift for someone special or for any lover of rare
antique jade. An appraisal is included with your purchase. We ship securely worldwide. The photos form part of the description.
