Antique Chinese Jade Good Fortune Pendant Plaque, Guan Yin, Qilin, Lotus, Bat

About the Item

Fine antique 19th century Qing Dynasty celadon jade pendant plaque of rectangular form, exceptionally well carved on both sides. On one side, a beautiful Quan Yin is ridding a mythical beast, Qilin, who is prancing atop stylized clouds. She holds a pair of large lotus blooms in her right hand and stylized rice sheaths in her left. A bat flies above her left shoulder beside a wisp of an S shaped cloud. Lovely fret work frames the scene. The second side depicts a large lotus root from which vibrant, healthy leaves are growing with a lotus flower in full bloom. To the right is a bat, above a charming small cloud and carved characters Fu, meaning Good Fortune, within a circle. The background surfaces of this plaque have a beautiful feathered finish, immediately identifiable as a hand carved piece. Very good luster and patina, lovely pale celadon color, excellent condition. A wealth of symbolism within this lovely pendant: Quan Yin represents compassion, a key factor in being in tune with the divine nature of the universe. The Qilin she rides symbolizes the avoidance of causing harm as well as punishment for the wicked. The lotus is considered one of the most important flowers in Chinese culture, signifying purity of the heart and mind, perfection, as it rises untainted and beautiful from the mud. Rice sheaths denote prosperity and good health. Bats are synonymous with good luck. The Chinese word for bat, bianfu is phonetically similar to the word Fu, meaning prosperity, blessings and good luck. Sir Winston Churchill : Do not wish health and wealth, but wish good luck, because on the Titanic everyone was rich and healthy, and only a few were lucky!
