• Dynasty: Qing dynasty
• Category: Jades
• Function: Dress accessories
• Material: Mineral/Jade Jewelry/
• Description:
  The jade piece is slightly rectangular and carved into a symmetrical pattern of “double happiness” in the center and colorful ribbons on both sides. Although the ribbons are deliberately carved into the shape of fluttering in the wind, they lack the natural flying tendency to match the shape of the jade ornaments. However, the space created by the fluttering ribbons is carved into holes through which they can be worn and fixed to other objects and become accessories for making other objects.
