About This Piece

Described as white Hetian seed jade (nephrite) with a 'scattered gold' (sajin) skin, so called for the flecks of golden staining across its surface. The carving shows Guan Gong — the bearded warrior Guan Yu — with a stern, upright bearing, holding a shield carved with a dragon pattern. Listed dimensions are 67 x 43 mm and the weight is 109.4 g, with the depth confirmed per piece. Ask Yufu Jade for in-hand photographs before ordering.

The meaning behind this piece

Guan Gong, or Guan Yu, is a historical general deified as the god of war and honoured for loyalty, righteousness and courage. He is widely venerated in Chinese communities as a protector figure. The carving reflects that cultural reverence — an emblem of integrity, not a promise of any outcome.

Sizing and wear

At 67 x 43 mm (about 2.6 x 1.7 in) and 109.4 g, it is a dense, solid hand piece with a commanding weight. Ask Yufu Jade to confirm the depth and provide an in-hand photo.

Keeping this piece at its best

  • Wipe with a soft damp cloth, then dry fully.
  • Keep away from perfume, chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners.
  • Store in a padded box away from hard surfaces.
