Design
Round-carved first-rank court official with hu tablet
The white jade is described as fine, warm and smooth, with bright yellow skin and a complete, well-proportioned form that sits easily in the hand. The figure — a court official of the first rank — holds a jade hu tablet in one hand and a pearl in the other, a beast resting on his shoulder, his face full and stern with a sharp, commanding gaze. Listed at 72.9 x 38.2 mm and 96.4 g, this is a refined, medium hand piece. Ask Yufu Jade to confirm the depth and send detail photographs.

The meaning behind this piece
The first-rank official (一品当朝) was the highest civil rank of the old imperial court, and the motif is a classical wish for high standing and honourable service. The jade hu tablet the figure holds was itself a mark of rank. These are cultural associations, not promised outcomes.
