TWO CHINESE PALE CELADON JADE PENDANTS
QING DYNASTY
One carved in openwork with a peach, pomegranate and finger citron growing amongst curling leaves, all contained within a moveable solid outer border, the other formed as a bi and decorated with two stylised dragons, 7.9cm and 7cm. (2)
The peach, pomegranate and finger citron together form the auspicious san duo or the 'Three Abundances', invoking the wish for good fortune, longevity, and an abundance of descendants.
