    Carved jade ‘Turtle’ pendant, Qing dynasty

    A small jade pendant with a reddish-golden hue. It has a slightly oval shape, trimmed at the upper and lower ends and a flat, rounded profile that faithfully imitates the morphology of a turtle's shell, with incised details of the geometric and hexagonal patterns that characterize this type of animal. The turtle, in traditional Chinese culture, is considered one of the four celestial animals and is a symbol of longevity, peace and harmony.
