All my wonderful Steemit friends, do you know what kind of bird this pattern is? Tell me if you love this jade pendant. So so beautiful!
Yeah, the pattern is a kind of eagle whose Chinese name is 海东青, i.e. gyrfalcon, also being regarded as a totem in Manchu culture. It is my younger sister who bought it with only 15 dollar in Xinjiang where abounds in Hetian jade. I always love Hetian jade. I can't wait to buy some Hetian jade in Xinjiang.
However, some good-quality Hetian jade can be very very expensive, and it is known by another beautiful name--- mutton-fat jade. Such kind of first-rate Hetian jade is in reality as well as its name, having fine, oily texture and luster moisture, like white mutton.
Just enjoy the pictures below.
