Item Details
Description
Elegantly carved tall bell-shaped jade vase, with a conical lid. A baluster form, with a large midsection. The neck of the vase is vaulted upward from the voluptuous bottom half to form a circular opening. Protruding from the neck is two elephant head handles with their trunks forming the grip. Free hanging jade rings are entrapped by the elephant trunks. The Elephant is the last of the four Animals of Supremacy and Energy. It represents strength, sagacity, and carefulness. The Jadestone has an attractive pale-celadon hue with a clean even tone. Lighter golden russet inclusions can be seen in multiple areas. This work of art sits on a hand-carved wooden stand within a snug-fitting wooden box.
Note:
Jade, as a stone, has five virtues. Its glossiness and warmth is like benevolence. Because inside and outside is the same, so that knowing the outside one knows the inside, this may be likened to righteousness. Its far-reaching sound (when struck) may be heard from afar, like wisdom. It is not easily bent, but can be broken, which may be likened to courage. Jade can be sharpened, but not to the point where it can injure people; this quality is like self-regulation or restraint.
