Chinese Agate Cameo‑Carved Boat Pendant

拍品描述

Chinese Agate Cameo‑Carved Boat Pendant H. 2.9 cm. W. 5 cm. A cleverly carved agate toggle fashioned into a miniature boat, utilizing natural dark russet‑black skin inclusions to depict figures aboard the translucent pale‑grey hull. Fine incised details render woven textures of cabin and fishing baskets, with openwork piercing throughout the composition. The craftsman skillfully exploits contrasting natural colours of the stone, a classic “qiaodiao” technique, creating a lively narrative‑themed ornament full of pastoral charm for collectors of Chinese hardstone carvings. Dimensions: Height 2.9 cm, Width 5 cm. An agate boat‑form toggle executed in natural‑skin cameo carving.
