I have a beautiful Jade/Stone pendant depicting the Chinese script for ‘Bringing Wealth’ from my father-in-law's Chinese Jade/Hardstone/Stone collection. He died over forty years ago and this is one of his collection of several thousand itemsThe Chinese have used a variety of Jade/Stone types for over 7000 years, producing weapons, work implements, buckles, dress adornments, funeral burial pieces for use in the after life, necklaces, pendants, bangles, statues, good luck charms, ...offerings to the gods, and pieces of ornamental beauty. Jade in it's many forms was highly valued in Chinese society.Here we have a beautiful pale green waxy Jade/Stone pendant of the Chinese symbol/script for ‘Bringing Wealth’. There are two facing dragons on top of the frieze. It has very little age related calcification. It has been well waxed and polished. The dragon is one of the 5 Chinese mythological creatures. The Chinese were/are superstitious and in a competitive environment, good luck symbols as this were revered and worn.The pendant is max approx 50mm long x 40mm wide x 6mm thick and it weighs approx 40 grams. It has great originality and character. This is a beautiful item. I am asking very little for it. Grab an attractive piece of exclusive Chinese ancient 'artistry' for your collection. Whether It is used as a pendant, or as a simple ornament to be displayed and admired.
