A PAIR OF YELLOW JADE BRACELETS WITH DRAGONS AND MICE CARVINGS 17th Century

Specially selected from yellow Nephrite, the jade of these items is purely colored. Some parts contain a brown matte coloration. The bodies of the bracelets are formed into Chi dragons with their heads connected to their tails. With fat and lean bodies integrated together, the curves of the dragon are graceful and elegant. There are embossed money mice near the ends of the bracelets, forming a Zi-Chen theme. The mouse is ordered as Zi in the Chinese zodiac and the Twelve Earthly Branches, whilst the dragon is ordered as Chen. Therefore, the combination of two images embodies the meaning of Zi-Chen. In the Han Dynasty, the meaning of blessings and peace was bestowed upon Zi-Chen. However, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zi-Chen obtained the auspicious connotation of having great hopes for one's offspring.
