Three Qing Dynasty Jade Pendants | Dragon & Scroll
East Asia, China, Qing Dynasty, ca. 1644–1912 CE. China, Qing Dynasty. Group of three carved jade pendants. The first is a composite pendant of pale celadon jade with russet inclusions, incorporating a disc-form element with a central perforation, surmounted and framed by carved confronting dragon or beast forms, the disc itself carved with a dense field of comma-scroll motifs. The second, of similar overall shape and honey-toned jade with a dragon-head terminal at the upper edge, is carved overall with dense interlocking scroll relief, with a shallow surface depression at the center rather than a true through-hole. The third is a plain tapered plaque of pale jade with russet veining, incised on one face with a stylized animal and scroll motifs, pierced with a single small suspension hole at the top corner. Size of longest: 3.3" H x 1.3" W x 2.2" D (8.4 cm H x 3.3 cm W x 5.6 cm D).
