Chinese Bronze Mounted Emerald Green Jade pendant, Qing dynasty

A Chinese bronze mounted Emerald Green Jade pendant, the jade plaque in the form of a stylised vase with a crimped top and a scalloped base, bevelled at the edge and of an intense emerald green colour with typical mottling to the stone, the heavy bronze mount with a flat back and following the shape of the stone, with two modelled ju'i lappet like form panels at the top with stylised scrolling foliage, the centre pierced for hanging.

It has been suggested that the form of the stone indicates it was intended as a handling token, some sort of a 'pass key', but this may well be apocryphal, although it does indeed sit comfortably when gripped. But the decorative qualities of this piece are clear and the maker clearly saw that this was a stone to be exploited and displayed. A contemporary wearer now would certainly attract attention! The weight and quality of the bronze suggest a reasonably early dating, perhaps to the late eighteenth century.
