A finely carved Chinese hardstone sculpture, rendered in a softly translucent jade-green stone, possibly serpentine. The composition features two fish swimming beneath broad lotus leaves, their bodies intertwined in a lively yet harmonious arrangement. Delicate incised details define the fins, scales, and veining of the leaves, showcasing the carver’s skill and sensitivity to the natural material.
In Chinese symbolism, fish represent abundance, prosperity, and harmony, while the lotus signifies purity and renewal, making this piece rich in auspicious meaning. The stone exhibits natural variations in tone and translucency, enhancing its organic beauty.
