White Xinjiang Hetian jade (nephrite) seed material is described here as glossy and oily with a full shape and slightly loose grain that does not affect the piece. Two pigs rest on a lotus leaf, their snouts upturned, ears like fans and faces set in a cheerful expression, while a bat perches on one pig's ear. Listed dimensions are 49 x 42 mm and the listed weight is 104 g. Ask Yufu Jade for the depth measurement, daylight photographs and an in-hand shot.

The meaning behind this piece
In Chinese folk culture the pig is a symbol of prosperity and contentment, and the bat (fu) sounds like the word for blessing, so a bat landing on the pig adds the idea of blessings arriving. Together they form a cheerful wish for a comfortable, contented household - a cultural association, not a promise.
