A Lavender Jadeite Recumbent Rat Pendant, Post Republic, 55AS

This hand-carved pendant is crafted from natural jadeite jade, measuring 3cm x 1.8cm. The stone features soft translucent lavender hues with subtle pale tonal shifts and a smooth glossy polish. Rendered in a compact recumbent pose, the rat is carved with rounded contours, well-defined ears, tapered snout and simplified limb detailing. In Chinese zodiac tradition, the rat symbolises wisdom, resourcefulness and accumulated wealth. The plump, understated carving highlights the gentle lilac colouration and fine lustre of the jadeite.
