This is a beautiful Shou Xin The Immortal Pa Wan Jade treasure that exhibits wonderful translucency and a radiant White color.
Fine condition, no major chips or cracks. This Shou Xin The Immortal Pa Wan Jade bears the motifs and artwork of the Ching Dynasty period. The quality of the jade is amazing as it is a very hard, fine-grained and highly polished Semi-translucent Hetian White Nephrite Jade gemstone. Evidence of wear and age cannot be seen with the naked eye, but it is always good to examine ancient jades under 10x magnification.
This Shou Xin The immortal Amulet jade carving was probably made for a scholars desk during the Ching Dynasty. For thousands of years, Chinese scholars were primarily men, greatly esteemed by their society, who were also collectors of high quality and sopisticated art objects; some functional, some inspirational and most small enough to decorate a scholars desk or compliment his study.
