The white jade is described as fine, oily and smooth with a rich, fatty lustre, and a bright yellow skin is kept across the surface, with the carver reserving yellow skin at the tail end. The beast — described as a Pixiu, or auspicious beast (瑞兽) — has a single horn swept back, round wide-set eyes and a sturdy body, its head turned to look behind it. Listed at 84 x 43 mm and 266 g, this is a heavy, high-quality hand piece. Ask Yufu Jade to confirm the depth and send daylight photographs of the yellow skin.

The meaning behind this piece
The auspicious beast, here in the form of a Pixiu, is a guardian figure associated with warding off harm and holding fast to good fortune. Its turned-back head suggests watchfulness, as if keeping an eye on what lies behind. These are cultural associations, not promised outcomes.

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.
How heavy is this in the hand?
At 266 g this is one of the weightiest pieces in the collection, with a broad 84 x 43 mm profile, so it sits solidly and heavily in the palm — closer to a fist-filler than a fidget piece.
What makes this white jade a seed jade?
The source describes it as Xinjiang seed material, meaning jade carried and worn smooth by river water, and points to the natural yellow skin as evidence of that origin. Ask for the certificate details if you would like them confirmed.
