Footnotes
十八世紀 白玉雙馬擺件
Horses carry rich symbolic meaning in Chinese culture. They have long been associated with status, authority, and the cultivated life of the elite, and frequently appear in paintings as companions to scholars or as metaphors for talent, ambition, and achievement. Exceptionally gifted individuals are often likened to a 'thousand-li horse' (千里馬) which refers to a horse capable of traveling a thousand li in a single day. See a related pale green jade carving of two horses, Qing dynasty, illustrated in Chinese Jade Animals, Hong Kong, 1996, p.184, no.176.
Compare with a related white jade carving of two horses, 18th century, which was sold at Christie's New York, 15 September 2017, lot 1021.
