A BAT-SHAPED JADE PENDANT Qing Dynasty

A flying bat carved into smooth Nephrite. The front features a bat with its wings spread. Detailed carving of the bat's wings reveals the underlying skeletal structure. Decorative cloud patterns are carved onto its wings. The back side is sculpted into the form of a ganoderma, making the piece appear more three dimensional whilst alluding to the form of a ganoderma. Additional ganoderma and auspicious patterns are a symbol of longevity and good fortune.
