18th/19th century
The smoothly carved pebble formed as a standing, caparisoned elephant, with almond-shaped eyes and finely incised wrinkles, the rear with a curling tail, standing above swirling clouds, an aperture on the back through to the base, the stone of even pale white tone. 3.5cm (1 3/8in) wide.
Footnotes
十八/十九世紀 白玉象
The elephant is an auspicious symbol associated with peace, wisdom, strength, and good governance. Because the word for elephant (xiang 象) is a homophone for 'auspiciousness' or 'appearance' in certain contexts and appears in numerous auspicious rebuses, elephant-shaped pendants were often worn as talismans to convey blessings for good fortune, stability, and prosperity. See a related jade elephant carving, Qing dynasty, in the collection of Hebei Provincial Folklore Museum, illustrated in Chinese Jades in Traditional Collections (中國傳世玉器全集), vol.6, Beijing, 2010, p.151.
See a related small white jade 'elephant and boy' carving, Qianlong/Jiaqing, which was sold at Bonhams Hong Kong, 5 May 2025, lot 46.
