White Jade Goose. Pendant. Asia, China, 18th Century Or Earlier.
Artist: Qing
A white jade pendant, slightly mottled with rust, depicting a goose preening itself. The bird is depicted lying on a large lotus leaf, its head smoothing its back feathers, gracefully curving its neck, which extends from the body and serves as a natural loop for threading the silk cord. The compact form, the whiteness of the rust-tinged stone, the subject matter, the natural loop, and the quality of the carving—along with the intricate details—make this a beautifully crafted piece of jewelry.
Chinese jade carving from the early Qing period, 18th century, though possibly earlier. This jade pendant was featured in Christie’s major auction in Hong Kong on December 1, 2010, as lot 3238. I can provide the buyer with the catalog.
Length: 54 mm.
