Lot Essay

The thumb ring is inscribed with four auspicious characters reading ji xiang ru yi (good fortune as one wishes), intricately carved within medallions and encircled by a ring of studs, all divided by ruyi sceptres. Compare to a white jade ruyi from the National Palace Museum, Taipei, with the same auspicious greeting carved on the handle, illustrated in Auspicious Ju-I Sceptres of China, Taipei, 1995, pl. 28.
