About the Item

We are pleased to present a very old pendant-amulet crafted from Hetian jade, featuring a carved depiction of a bird on a turtle. It dates back to the late Qing Dynasty (late 19th to early 20th century). The motif of a bird on a turtle is a significant symbol in Chinese culture (prominently displayed, for instance, in Beijing's Forbidden City), representing double longevity and blessings. The turtle embodies wisdom, longevity, and protection, while the bird—most commonly a crane—symbolizes happiness, good health, and the fulfillment of wishes. Together, these symbols powerfully enhance the meaning of enduring life, and also represent wisdom, career advancement, health, and prosperity. Pendant specifications: Height: 62 mm (2.4") Width: 43 mm (1.7") Thickness: 6 mm (0.2") Weight: 35.5 grams (1.25 oz) This piece is made from genuine Hetian Jade (Type A jade), meaning it is completely natural and has not undergone any chemical treatment or enhancement. For centuries, Hetian jade has been highly revered in Chinese culture. A stunning amulet for true connoisseurs and lovers of antique jade. This pendant is an ideal gift for a cherished one or a meaningful addition to your own collection.
