A WHITE JADE BI WITH DRAGON CARVING

Qing Dynasty

Premium white Nephrite with partial grey markings. Its flat disk form has a small hole. The two sides both feature carvings. One side, a high relief pair of hornless dragons, one small and one large, can be found. Their long bodies are curled and feature two pronged tails. The smaller dragon is shorter and is decorated in ink color to emphasise the auspicious meaning of imperial lineage. The other side features low relief cloud patterns. With orderly composition and exquisite craftsmanship, this jade piece is a fine work of art.
