拍品描述
英文名称:Hetian Jade Rotatable Pendant with Butterfly Motif 英文描述:This pendant is carved from Hetian jade, with creamy, moist texture and subtle luster. Executed in the classic rotatable pendant craft, the outer frame and inner core are separately carved, allowing the inner core to rotate freely. The outer ring is openworked with interlocking floral scrolls, while the inner core is decorated with a butterfly motif. The butterfly spreads its wings with meticulously rendered venation, presenting a light and graceful posture. Butterfly symbolizes longevity and happy marriage; the butterfly-among-flowers is a time-honoured auspicious jade theme. The openwork is translucent with smooth flowing lines. The movable core technique requires high craftsmanship and ingenious design. It combines superb jade carving skill and auspicious meaning, an excellent piece for personal adornment and collection. 此佩选用和田玉料雕琢,玉质温润凝脂,光泽内敛柔和。器为经典转心佩形制,采用活芯转心巧作工艺,外环与内芯分料雕琢,内芯可自由旋动。外环镂雕缠枝花卉,内芯主体雕琢蝴蝶纹样,蝶翼舒展,翅上纹理刻画细腻,身姿轻盈灵动。蝴蝶寓意耋寿、美满,蝶恋花题材自古为吉祥玉饰经典。整件器物镂雕通透,线条婉转,活环工艺难度高,构思精巧,集琢玉巧思与吉祥寓意于一体,属文房佩藏精品。
