A WHITE JADE PENDANT
18TH-19TH CENTURY
The rounded pendant is carved to one side with a boy holding a ruyi-sceptre, and to the other with four seal characters reading 'ji xiang ruyi' which may be translated as 'may you have the good fortune as you wish it'. The panel is surmounted by a pair of confronting qilin to one side and a butterfly to the other. The stone is of an even pale tone.
1 7/8 in. (4.8 cm.) high
