Described as celadon-green Hetian seed jade (nephrite), this piece keeps a natural pore-skin — the pebble's original pitted rind — around part of the carving. The Pixiu stands with chest high and head raised, its eyes bulging and mouth open in a fierce, commanding pose. Listed at 82.2 x 49.8 mm and 149.2 g, the third dimension is confirmed per piece. Ask Yufu Jade for in-hand and daylight photographs before ordering.

The meaning behind this piece
A Pixiu (pí xiū) is a mythical beast traditionally believed to guard a home and hold onto wealth, since legend says it eats without expelling. In jade carving it is worn or handled as a protective companion. This is folk belief and cultural association, not a promise of any outcome.
Sizing and wear
At 82.2 x 49.8 mm (about 3.2 x 2.0 in) and 149.2 g, this is one of the larger, heavier hand pieces in the set. Confirm the depth and an in-hand photo with Yufu Jade to judge its true bulk.
Keeping this piece at its best
Wipe the polished areas with a soft damp cloth, then dry.
Keep it clear of chemicals, perfume and ultrasonic baths.
Store it on its own in a padded box to protect the carving.

No. This individual piece has already been collected and remains online as a reference. You can ask Yufu Jade to look for a similar material, form or carving subject; any new piece is documented and quoted separately.
Is this Pixiu heavier than typical hand pieces?
At 149.2 g and 82.2 x 49.8 mm it is a larger, denser example, so it carries real presence in the hand. Ask Yufu Jade for the depth and an in-hand photo before you decide.
Is the pore skin proof the jade is genuine?
The natural pore skin — the original pitted rind of the seed stone — is kept as evidence that the piece was carved from a real, unaltered pebble rather than a polished block. Yufu Jade can share current photos so you can see it.
