White Hetian Jade Plaque: Majestic Power, 37 g

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.

A curling mythical creature follows the narrow profile of this shaped jade carving. Its outline bends around the relief, with small pierced details near the lower edge and a broad smooth reverse. Openwork creates actual openings through the jade, so the surrounding bridges are part of the structure as well as the design. Look at both faces and the inside edges under changing light to assess the finish and check for damage around these narrow connections.

The listed dimensions are 77 x 29 mm, approximately 3.03 x 1.14 in. Compare these measurements with a ruler to judge the scale. Listed weight: 37 g. Confirm the suspension opening and any included cord or fittings.

Mythical animals in Chinese carving combine features from different creatures. Their curling bodies and elaborate crests are decorative inventions; the supplied title does not establish a specific zoological species. Read this as the traditional subject of the carving, rather than a statement about its age, maker or a promised effect on the owner.
