Description
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT WHITE JADE PENDANT, QIANLONG PERIOD. Under the patronage of the jade-loving Qianlong Emperor (r. 1736-1795) of the Qing dynasty, jade carvings enjoyed unprecedented growth, which was also supported by the steady inflow of raw materials from Hotan (Hetian) after His Majesty conquered the Uygur region of Eastern Turkistan in 1760. After the Qianlong zenith of refinement, the most significant development of Chinese jade art was the very concept about “jade”. For 7000 years, jade to Chinese had always meant creamy, tender nephrite with its quiet beauty. This is an extremely rare white jade boy pendant from Qing dynasty. The piece measures L 5.7 cm/ 2 1/4 in.
