A CHINESE WHITE HETIAN JADE CHILONG PENDANT

拍品描述

This openwork pendant is carved from translucent creamy white Hetian nephrite with faint natural russet inclusions scattered across its smooth surface. Intertwined chilong dragons twist fluidly around a central hoop, their coiled bodies, scaled limbs and delicate facial details rendered through masterful hollowed relief carving. Every contour is finely polished to a soft luminous patina from prolonged handling. Compact, exquisitely wrought and steeped in auspicious dragon symbolism, it serves as an elegant wearable jade ornament, highly sought by collectors of Chinese miniature hardstone carvings.
