Up for sale or buy-it-now is a magnificent, highly substantial vintage Chinese hand-carved natural stone "Hand Piece" or pocket carving amulet (Shou Ba Jian).

Unlike smaller jewelry pendants, this robust 2.5-inch carving boasts a dense, satisfying weight, sculpted specifically for tactile handling, meditation, or as a prestigious scholar's desk display.

Design, Material & Symbolism:

Crafted from authentic, hard multi-colored jadeite (verified positive via Presidium tester), this piece exhibits a classic, highly sought-after "Shoushan color profile." The master carver strategically used the deep, natural russet-orange and honey-yellow outer rind of the stone to depict a detailed, smiling Wise Man (Shou, God of Longevity) alongside a large fish (symbolizing "Yú" or endless financial abundance and surplus). Weighs 198 grams and was carved to fit in the hand
