Song and Yuan Dynasty High-Relief Jade Chilong Pendant
Meaning: The chilong has been considered an auspicious beast since ancient times, and during the Song and Yuan dynasties, it was imbued with the core connotation of "protection and bringing good fortune." This pendant, depicting a chilong coiled around the wearer, symbolizes "dragon's auspiciousness following one's body," signifying constant blessings and protection from evil. It was a prized accessory favored by scholars, officials, and nobles during the Song and Yuan periods.
This high-relief jade chilong pendant is crafted from Hetian jade with a pale bluish-green tinge. Its texture is warm, delicate, dense, and firm; some areas show natural brownish-black patina. The openwork technique between the chilong and the pendant enhances the sense of depth, making it a typical representative of chilong-themed jade carvings from the transitional period between the Song and Yuan dynasties.
