This intricately carved white jade plaque from the Qing dynasty (18th–19th century) features a symmetrical openwork design of two birds flanking a central floral motif, surmounted by a stylized pavilion roof. Birds in Chinese art traditionally symbolize harmony, fidelity, and peace, and when paired with floral patterns, they often represent auspicious union and prosperity. The fine openwork carving is executed with excellent craftsmanship, creating a delicate, airy aesthetic despite the solid jade material. The jade itself is of a soft, milky white hue with a smooth polish and gentle patina, indicative of age and handling. The piece remains in very good condition, showing minimal wear to the edges. Likely used as a pendant or ornament on garments or scholar’s objects, this plaque is both a refined decorative item and a culturally significant artifact, representing the artistic and symbolic sophistication of Qing jade craftsmanship.
