Antique Mutton Fat Jade Carved Moth Openwork Pendant
Antique carved mutton fat jade openwork pendant in the form of a stylized moth or butterfly, executed in a graceful, symmetrical composition. The wings are delicately pierced with fine latticework and geometric motifs, creating an airy, lace-like effect that highlights the craftsmanship.
The jade displays a classic pale “mutton fat” tone with a soft, creamy translucency and gentle luster. Subtle natural inclusions and slight tonal variations are visible, consistent with age and material.
The central body is defined by finely incised lines, with radiating details suggesting wings in motion, while the outer edges are softly scalloped for added dimension. The openwork carving allows light to pass through, enhancing depth and visual lightness.
Elegant and refined, this piece reflects traditional Chinese symbolism, where butterfly motifs are often associated with longevity, joy, and transformation.
