Description
- Plaque approximately 61.90 x 41.66 x 10.18 mm, tourmaline bead approximately 8.90 mm.
The semi-translucent tri-coloured plaque suffused with celadon, rich honey and intense emerald green colour, carved with a mythical creature to the front and the reverse, supported by carved lingzhi ruyi heads, pine trees and coins, signifying longevity and prosperity, strung on a brown cord accented with a pink tourmaline bead, length approximately 200 mm.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the carved jadeite pendant is semi-translucent and has an interesting colour combination of very rich honey yellow, deep emerald green and celadon. Upon close look, the carving appears slightly mottled, particularly to the green section. The tourmaline bead is of medium, strong purple pink colour, slightly included to naked eyes.
Condition: Nice craftsmanship shows a clever use of using the natural colours from the jadeite boulder in the carving. Overall in very good condition.
