This finely carved jade ornament from the Qing Dynasty (18th century) features a pair of birds nestled together beside a lotus leaf, rendered in warm-toned Hetian jade with natural russet inclusions. The figures are delicately executed with smooth contours, softly incised feather details, and an elegant integration of the stone’s coloration to emphasize depth and contrast. The pairing of birds and lotus conveys auspicious meanings in Chinese culture—symbolizing marital harmony, fidelity, and peace—making this an ideal decorative object for a scholar’s desk. The lustrous polish and compact size suggest it may have also served as a tactile object (shouwan) to be appreciated in hand. The overall condition is excellent, with no visible chips or restoration, and the natural patina from age adds a further layer of warmth and authenticity. This piece exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and symbolic richness of Qing dynasty jade carving.
