"Pig Sculpture In A Jar — Rock Crystal (qing Dynasty)"

This exceptional piece of carved rock crystal dates from the Qing dynasty. It depicts a lifelike pig carrying a jar on its back, an iconography rich in Chinese symbolism. The word for pig (zhu) is a homophone of "to wish" and the jar (ping) evokes peace (ping'an), together forming the traditional rebus "Bringing peace and prosperity".
