Expertly carved from a single stone, the piece features a multi-colored palette ranging from a cool, icy celadon green in the center to warm honey-yellow and deep russet-red hues along the edges. The focal point is a finely detailed carp, its scales and fins meticulously rendered as it leaps amidst stylized swirling waves. Resting atop a broad lotus leaf that forms the pendant's scalloped silhouette, the fish is joined by a ruyi motif and a coin, traditional symbols representing wealth, longevity, and the fulfillment of all wishes.
