Chinese pale celadon nephrite jade belt hook, monkey -China- 20th Century
On offer is a rare Chinese pale celadon nephrite jade belt hook with an unusual design. The carving consists of a horse and monkey on top of the belt hook. The underside of the shaft has a flat button. The jade has a beautiful glossy finish and good translucence and feels therefore soft on the touch. Hard to find and offered with no reserve price!
The symbolism of a monkey and horse has a special cultural meaning. The Monkey sitting on a Horse in Chinese reads (马上封候) "Ma Shang Feng Ho" which sounds like "Promotion is fast approaching". The Monkey is considered as a symbol of the Clever and Creative Individual and the Horse as a symbol of Speed, Strength, Success and a Steady Path.
