Antique White Mutton Fat Jade Carved Dragon Bi Disc Figurine Pendant
This antique pendant is finely carved from white “mutton fat” jade, prized for its soft, creamy tone and smooth, velvety translucence. The piece is formed as a traditional bi disc, symbolizing heaven and eternity, with a central circular aperture and rounded outer edge.
Encircling the disc are intricately carved dragons rendered in openwork relief. Their sinuous bodies curve gracefully around the perimeter, with stylized heads, scrolling tails, and subtle incised detailing that brings movement and vitality to the composition. The carving is dimensional yet balanced, allowing light to pass through the pierced sections and accentuate the jade’s luminous quality. The reverse features delicate scroll motifs radiating around the central opening, adding decorative refinement while maintaining the classic bi form. The jade has a smooth, time-softened polish consistent with age, enhancing its tactile appeal.
