AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent pendant carved from green nephrite jade, depicting a symbolic scene of strength and protection: a mighty tiger and a mythical lion in a dominant position, among stylized waves and clouds. The composition is inspired by classical Asian symbolism, where the lion serves as a sacred guardian and the tiger represents courage, power, and determination.

The intense pastel green color of the nephrite is natural, with a satin sheen that enhances the details of the sculpture. The careful craftsmanship highlights the musculatures of the felines, the open jaws, and the details of the flowing manes, offering a visual balance between ferocity and harmony.


A refined and powerful piece, perfect for those looking for a protection amulet or for enthusiasts of Eastern culture and sacred art.
