About This Piece

This pair has pierced dragon-and-phoenix crests above fine repeated dot fields. Small notches at the sides and base make the rectangular outlines more elaborate than a plain matched pair.

Carving details and what to examine

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.

Material and stated origin

This plaque pair is listed as white nephrite and depicts Dragon and Phoenix. Its stated origin is Xinjiang, China; the geographic attribution is separate from mineral identification. The supplied description notes retained pebble-skin texture. This is a description of appearance, not confirmation of treatment status.

The meaning behind this piece

The dragon and phoenix are complementary auspicious creatures in Chinese art. Their pairing often expresses harmony and a favourable union, although the exact setting varies by design.

Size and handling

The supplied dimensions are 47.1 x 33.7 mm (approximately 1.85 x 1.33 in). Ask for measurements of each plaque and confirmation of the combined weight and pair price before ordering.

Keeping this piece at its best

  • Wipe with a soft, lightly dampened cloth and dry gently. Avoid abrasive polish, harsh cleaners and sudden temperature changes.
  • Store separately in a padded pouch and protect the carved edges from knocks.
  • Check the suspension point and cord regularly. Remove the piece before bathing, swimming or vigorous activity.

Documentation status for 163YU-97073

A laboratory report has not been independently verified for this listing. This archived piece is not offered for sale. For any proposed similar piece, ask whether a laboratory report is available for that exact item. Request a readable copy showing the issuing laboratory, report number, item photograph, measurements and the scope of the conclusion. Verify the number through the laboratory's own official service and compare the report details with the item being offered. Confirm whether both plaques are covered; a report identifying only one piece should not be treated as a report for the pair.

Photographs for this reference

This listing presents 3 catalog photographs for 163YU-97073. These are edited product photographs: backgrounds have been cleaned and some views cropped to remove branding. Lighting and screen settings affect the apparent colour. Request current, unretouched daylight views of both faces and the edges when assessing condition or treatment questions.

Use the central evidence guide to understand what a report can establish, how to verify its issuer and which current-condition views to request.

Are both plaques shown as one set?
