Figura "Caballos" de jade tallado, dinastía Qing Carved jade figure of light tonality with reddish-golden stains and patina produced by aging. It represents two beautiful horses lying on their legs, both arranged in reverse, tilting their heads to look at each other serenely. Their forelegs are bent and their tails are raised, brushing against each other's faces as a symbol of constant union. Horses played an important role of growth and protection in China. They were so fundamental that their figure is related to status, talents, good luck and power. In addition, the fact that the material used is jade shows that it is made with meaning. Measurements: 4,4 x 5,2 x 5,2 cm Weight: 94,5 g
