Ink and wash painting, silver inlaid Wolong jade square pendant---Wolong landscape

Specifications: L×W×H 59×28×11 mm, Weight: 43.8 g
Material: Natural Grade A Jadeite

Craftsmanship:
This icy black jadeite plaque adopts an ink wash painting aesthetic. Natural dark black shades spread across its translucent icy base just like ink spreading on rice paper, presenting freehand landscape art with naturally blended black-and-white layers. It embodies an exclusive Oriental ink-wash artistic charm unique to jadeite.
Exquisitely inlaid with vintage gilded silver, a three-dimensional coiled dragon climbs along the plaque’s top. Its dragon scales and whiskers are carved with extreme precision, surrounded by winding auspicious cloud patterns. A vivid positive emerald green cabochon is accented with red and blue gemstones for striking color contrast, delivering luxurious antique elegance with imposing grandeur.
The blank space on the jade plaque fully showcases the natural ink-wash artistic conception, with a black dragon coiled atop.

Symbolism:
The coiled dragon amid mountains and rivers symbolizes hidden outstanding talents, strategic wisdom, a dormant biding dragon ready to soar to great heights.
Icy black jadeite with ink wash patterns is inherently scarce. Paired with elaborate vintage metal inlay, the piece balances refined literati grace and powerful aura. It exudes extraordinary taste for men to wear, and counts as a premium one-of-a-kind treasure for display and collection.
