Certified Natural Nephrite Jade Carving, True Mutton Fat Jade, Bodhidharma, 達摩

About the Item

From our extensive Jade collection......This master piece is certified natural nephrite jade "Mutton Fat Jade" The certificate is from a renown Hong Kong Lab which only certifies Jade. The certificate's conclusion is "natural nephrite jade" This piece is not only a true Mutton Fat white Hetian Jade, it is also carved by a master jade carver. Look at the carving of this beautiful piece. The raw material or river pebble is brown (jade skin) color with patches on the outside. No one knew the inside color. The carving is of a Bodhidharma (達摩 in chinese) which was a buddhist monk who lived in the 5th-6th century. This monk (may be indian) was credited in the introduction of buddhism to China and eventually Shaolin Kungfu. Mutton Fat white jade as the name implies it's white. It is also "dense" with milky color like mutton's fat. It is next to impossible to find Jade this white and this dense. The master jade carver would have to improvise as he was carving. It is like winning the lottery to find such white material inside. This kind of carving can only be done by a master. It is out of this world. The lines, the proportions and the depth of field of this jade buddhist monk is amazing. This Mutton Fat Jade material would have only come from the famous river of Hetian in China. The master carver skillfully left the jade skin on except the head which is all white. Leaving the jade skin visible, he left no doubt that this mutton fat jade is river material. It also has superb "hand feel". It is a great piece for investors and connoisseurs looking to collect world class Jade. This will be the center piece of any Jade collection. The jade carving is about 7.9x4.6x2.9cm. It weights about 174 grams including the hand cord. Please refer to the many high definition photos for more details. We can also provide a HD video. We are 3rd going on 4th generation in the jewelry business. You would expect that many of our items to be described accurately and the real items will look better than any photos we can take. You can buy with confidence. Thank you for your consideration.

Chinese Antique Qing Carved "Mutton Fat" Nephrite Plaque Pendant Certified
Located in Southbury, CT
Elegant, rare, and dating to the late Qing period (circa 1890s), this hand-carved nearly colorless white nephrite plaque has been etched on both sides. One one, the Chinese mythological figure known as Zhang Guo Lao is depicted riding a mule. On the opposite side, a magpie sits on a branch of cherry blossoms. The magpie is associated with intelligence. The carving is breathlessly simple and excellent; the work executed -of course- without the aid of electricity or modern tools. Measuring 42.54mm x 29.92mm, the plaque has a hole drilled through the center, which is original to the piece. A silver bail is threaded through the hole and a pair of beads -black jade and coral- reside at the bottom. The jade plaque hands from a 1920s silver chain that is 32" in length. Prior to the discovery of and appreciation for the very fine green jadeite from Burma, colorless, opaque, pure white nephrite jade from the Northern mountains of China was the most revered jade; the original "imperial jade, as only members of the royal court could wear or even touch it. Most of what is commercially sold today as "mutton fat...
