Carved Antique Chinese Lavender, Apple Green Jade Gourd Pendant
About the Item
Considered very auspicious in both Chinese and Japanese cultures, the gourd has a long history of talismanic use in warding off evil and promoting good fortune. In Chinese, it is called hulu, the first character, Hu, means both to protect and a blessing.
The gourd is associated with longevity and one of the Eight Immortals, Li Tie Guai. It is often depicted together with flower and vine motifs for symbolic reasons, as in this beautifully carved pendant. The vine here is that of a squash with a blossom on one side of the pendant and a bud on the other side. Delicate lavender jade with vibrant apple green burst of color along the leafy portion of the carving. This pendant dates to the late 19th century. It is in excellent condition.
