JADEITE CARVING

The semi-translucent jadeite of deep emerald green colour, carved with two cranes perching on rocks, within a surround of evergreen pine trees representing longevity, further decorated with lotus flowers and leaves, and a carp in the flowing water waves symbolizing prosperity.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the jadeite carving is semi-translucent to almost opaque, of deep emerald green colour. Upon close look, the colour is slightly patchy, showing some white clouds in-between, but not noticeable in distance observation. Condition: Delicate carving with auspicious meaning of longevity, overall in very good condition.
