A Chinese carved nephrite jade ring pendant of circular form, surmounted by an openwork carving of a mythological feline, likely a bixie or tiger. The animal is rendered in a crouching, arched pose with its head turned and musculature defined by shallow incised lines. The stone is of a pale celadon to greyish-white colour, utilising the natural orange-russet skin of the jade pebble along the creature’s back.
