About This Piece

A small rectangular Guanyin plaque hangs from a visibly carved jade chain. The many arms spread across the front, and the close view shows the relationship between the upper fitting and the relief below.

Carving details and what to examine

The carved chain should be examined link by link as well as together with the plaque. Close views of the link interiors and joining points help assess the finish; a photograph of the whole assembly is needed to understand how it hangs without putting strain on the connections.

Material and stated origin

This plaque with carved chain is listed as white nephrite and depicts Thousand-Armed Guanyin. Its stated origin is Xinjiang, China; the geographic attribution is separate from mineral identification. The supplied description notes golden-speckled skin. This is a description of appearance, not confirmation of treatment status.

Details Yufu Jade confirms for a proposed similar piece

  • Material and any available testing
  • Height, width, thickness and weight
  • Carving subject and cultural context
  • Both faces, edges and suspension details

The meaning behind this piece

The many-armed form of Guanyin represents compassion expressed through countless ways of helping others. The arms are an iconographic convention; a carving need not show a literal thousand to belong to this tradition.

Size and handling

The listed dimensions are 47 x 31 mm, approximately 1.85 x 1.22 in. Compare these measurements with a ruler to judge the scale. Listed weight: 64 g. The plaque dimensions do not establish the full chain length; confirm the usable length and attachment before wearing.

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.
  • Support the plaque and carved links together when lifting. Do not pull, twist or force a link, and inspect the connections before use.

What details distinguish this Thousand-Armed Guanyin plaque?

A small rectangular Guanyin plaque hangs from a visibly carved jade chain. The many arms spread across the front, and the close view shows the relationship between the upper fitting and the relief below. The carved chain should be examined link by link as well as together with the plaque. Close views of the link interiors and joining points help assess the finish; a photograph of the whole assembly is needed to understand how it hangs without putting strain on the connections.

What size is reference 98129?

The listed dimensions are 47 x 31 mm, approximately 1.85 x 1.22 in. Compare these measurements with a ruler to judge the scale. Listed weight: 64 g. The plaque dimensions do not establish the full chain length; confirm the usable length and attachment before wearing.

How should the carved chain be handled?

Support the plaque and carved links together when lifting. Do not pull, twist or force a link, and inspect the connections before use. Ask for the full chain length, a view of each connection and confirmation of any included fastening. The plaque dimensions alone cannot establish whether the assembly is suitable to wear.
