Description from the seller
Jade Nefrite Pendant – Protective Amulet with a Figure of Guanyin and Dragons
This pendant is made from a solid block of green nephrite jade, carefully worked with patience and precision until it becomes a soft-touch slab rich in detail. The carving depicts Guanyin, the most beloved female figure in Eastern Buddhism, symbolizing compassion, protection, and inner listening. Around her, two stylized dragons emerge, sculpted in motion as if supporting the deity among the clouds.
The composition is typical of traditional amulets.
Guanyin at the center, with robes flowing downward, represents the calm that guides even in moments of disorder.
The dragons, ancient guardians of wisdom, embody the strength that defends and supports those who wear the amulet.
The upper clouds, sculpted like an arch that surrounds it, evoke the passage between the human world and the spiritual realm, a space of protection and good omen.
Jade nephrite has been considered for centuries a stone of balance and vitality: a 'good' gem associated with longevity, good fortune, and mental clarity. Wearing it around the neck, according to tradition, means keeping a small emblem of harmony close.
The pendant is attached with a braided cord and finished with a red bead that creates an elegant and sophisticated contrast, in true oriental style.
A piece that combines tradition, symbolism, and artisanal craftsmanship: ideal as a personal talisman or as a collectible object dedicated to the arts of the Far East.
Note: the jade is not certified.
