ANTIQUE JADE DRAGONS & PEARL PALM STONE. This listing features a beautiful, nicely hand-carved Chinese jadeite or jade palm stone, or pendant. A dragon playing ball with the carved jade pearl. Dragons and pearls are beloved images found in Chinese art and their story is one of the oldest and best-known legends in Chinese folklore. A pearl symbolizes wisdom, spiritual energy and power; a dragon with a pearl represents prosperity and good luck as well as being a rain deity. Being a dragon looks like fun! It measures 3 inches tall by 1 3/4 inches wide at the lower end by 1/2 of an inch thick (it is slightly smaller at the upper end). The stays wonderfully cold when held, is too hard to scratch, and is slightly luminous against a strong light. It weighs approximately 104 grams and has a small hole at the top for hanging. In great condition, it needs a gentle cleaning, having been packed in storage for years, so please inspect all the photos to see exactly what you will receive. A new gift box is included.
