Description from the seller
Nephrite Jade Pendant – Relief Carved Tiger
A meticulously crafted nephrite jade pendant, crafted in a pale, solid green, typical of the most homogeneous nephrites. The surface has been polished to a soft, even sheen, highlighting the carving's details: a tiger in a vigorous stance, depicted next to a traditionally sculpted pine tree. The scene, carved with precise, well-defined lines, recalls classical motifs in Eastern art, where the tiger is considered a symbol of strength, protection, and determination, while the pine represents stability and long life. The overall effect creates a balance between movement and stillness, typical of masterfully crafted carvings on solid stones like nephrite. Nephrite jade has been prized for centuries for its durability and cultural significance. In Asian traditions, it is associated with qualities such as clarity of mind, protection, and harmony, and is often used for amulets and personal objects due to its natural strength. The pendant is completed with a braided cord and a small decorative red pearl, adding a pop of color without interrupting the piece's balance. A solid, elegant, well-proportioned piece, suitable for both everyday wear and a collection. Non-Certified Jade.
