The meaning behind this piece
The dragon and phoenix are the two great emblems of Chinese tradition, the dragon for power and the phoenix for grace, and together they read as 'dragon and phoenix bring good fortune' (long feng cheng xiang). The pairing is especially associated with a harmonious, happy marriage. It is a cultural symbol of union, not a promise.

At 55.3 x 40 mm (about 2.2 x 1.6 in) and 95.6 g, it is a rounded, well-balanced hand piece that sits comfortably in the palm. Ask Yufu Jade to confirm the depth and provide a scale photograph.
