[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 229695, member: 2844"]Right, next on the list, Modernist half globe shades:D. It is still a very shiny object, but I could make out two phoenixes and a brocade ball. So I took the liberty of editing one of your older pictures and turning it around: [ATTACH=full]69053[/ATTACH] The brocade ball is that round thing, bottom centre. It stands for the Buddhist pearl of wisdom. On either side a phoenix, the symbol of yin, the female, etc. principle. Their heads meet in the middle, facing each other. The long tail feathers curl upward and cover the rest of the jade. From what I can see it is Xiu nephrite jade. This pendant would have been on a silk cord with a tassel at the bottom. Like this one, except yours had the cord going through it, which is nicer: [IMG]https://img0.etsystatic.com/053/0/5330526/il_570xN.722432496_32hd.jpg[/IMG] [URL]https://www.etsy.com/listing/221326358/vintage-chinese-carved-jade-nephrite[/URL][/QUOTE]
