About the Item

Step into the elegance of Imperial China with this Hetian White Jade Boy & Girl Lotus Leaf Motif Pendant. Finely carved in mutton fat white jade, this round-shaped pendant showcases a smiling boy and girl, holding lingzhi, a symbol of longevity and prosperity in Chinese tradition. The reverse side features a delicately carved lotus leaf, while the bottom section displays a three-section lotus root, a revered motif in Chinese art. The Hetiant white jade is highly sought after by collectors for its fine texture, resembling thick snow softened by water, creating a unique cottage cheese-like translucency when light is projected at a 45-degree angle. This pendant echoes the Qing Dynasty’s admiration for Hetian jade, a material so prized that Emperor Qianlong ensured its transport across thousands of miles of harsh terrain to the imperial court. Dimensions: 49.6 x 49.5 x 18.5mm Weight: 69.9g Provenance: San Diego Jade Collector, Old Collection from Hong Kong.
