Brown-sugar jade (tang yu) gets its warm brown tones from natural iron colouring in the stone, and is especially prized when the sugar colour contrasts with a paler jade body. This hand piece is carved with a tiger, a subject that suits a solid, weighty form: the confirmed dimensions are 51 x 20 mm with a weight of 103.4 g. Ask Yufu Jade for the depth measurement and in-hand photographs before ordering.

The meaning behind this piece
In Chinese culture the tiger is the king of beasts, standing for strength, courage and protection. The phrase 虎虎生威 (Hu Hu Sheng Wei) means "as mighty as tigers", a blessing of vigour and presence often given to wish someone boldness and success.

At 51 x 20 mm and 103.4 g, this is a dense, solid hand piece that sits heavily in the palm. Ask Yufu Jade to confirm the depth (third dimension) and provide an in-hand photograph so you can judge its true scale.
Keeping this piece at its best
Handle it over a soft surface to protect the edges.
