A BLACK AND WHITE JADE ‘BEAR AND EAGLE HERO’ PENDANT 清代 黑白玉英雄玉墜 China, Qing dynasty A squatting bear with an eagle draped on its back, the details of the eagle's feathers rendered in subtle relief with incised accents on the softly polished black and white jade surface. The jade pendant has a hole running through its entire body. H: 5.6cm NOTE Because the words for eagle and bear together sound like the word for hero in Chinese, these two animals are often combined to symbolize heroism.
