<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"><tr><td><em> </em></td></tr><tr> <td width="100%"> This Exquisite Twin Badgers Chasing Gourd pendant was carved from a piece of fine-grained JADEITE jade gemstone more than 200 years ago. Feels smooth and sleek in hand! The significance of this item is its natural color and UNIQUE DESIGN. It features a pair of lovely badgers chasing a lucky gourd with gold ingot strings of cash carved around. The gourd is the lucky symbol of happiness and wealth. That is because its pronunciation is Foo Lu, and the Chinese spelling of Happiness and wealth is Foo Lu also. An auspicious Ruyi is carved on one side of the pendant. The back of this exquisite pendant is carved with several bamboo leaves.A token of Luck & Love& Blessing, bring good luck for you everywhere! Create good luck for the New Year, for a Birthday, for your Children, Parents, Wife or Husband, or for a Good Friend! You could hang it around your neck as an archaic necklace or on your purse and bag as a kool accessory. The carving is VERY DELICATE!Jade girdle pendants or toggles (chui-tzu) are very similar in appearance to funeral jades and may have overlapped them in time. There is a whole literature devoted to Japanese girdle pendants (netsuke), but not so for the Chinese toggles. Like netsuke these pendants were carved in many forms.
The old Chinese robes had no pockets; therefore, toggles were attached by a cord to objects such as knives or burning-glasses and were used as counter-balances over a belt or girdle. </td></tr><tr> <td> </td></tr><tr> <td>Reference #: AA06030128</td></tr><tr><td>Condition:Excellent</td></tr><tr><td>Year:19/ 20 Century</td></tr><tr><td>Country:China</td></tr><tr><td>Height:3.1</td></tr><tr><td>Depth:0.5</td></tr><tr><td>Width:2.2</td></tr><tr><td>Title:Exquisite Ching Dy Jadeite Pendant</td></tr><tr><td>Materials:Jadeite</td></tr><tr><td>Type:Hand Carved</td></tr><tr><td>Location:Canton</td></tr></table>
