Carved from white Xinjiang Hetian jade (nephrite) described as gentle, lustrous and evenly coloured, this pendant shows a galloping horse inside a rounded ring while coins are carved around the rim. The ring form keeps the piece light and wearable, and the coins complete the money-on-horseback wordplay. Listed dimensions are 55.3 x 7.1 mm with a listed weight of 37.9 g, the lightest of the three pendants in this group. Ask Yufu Jade for daylight photographs and confirmation of the depth before ordering.

The meaning behind this piece
Because on horseback (ma shang) also means immediately, a horse shown with coins reads in Chinese as money arrives at once, a lighthearted traditional pun. It is offered as a cultural expression of good wishes, never as a promise of financial gain.

Why are there coins carved around the horse?
The coins complete a pun: horse plus immediately gives money arrives at once, a traditional wish expressed through imagery rather than a promise of wealth.
How does its size and weight compare to a normal pendant?
At 55.3 x 7.1 mm and 37.9 g it is slim and light, so it hangs easily and barely presses on the cord or the neck.
