Catalogue Essay
The finger citron fruit is known as “Buddha's hand” due to the resemblance drawn between the long tendrils and Buddha's fingers in typical hand gestures. It is believed to give people a strong support and ward off bad energy. In traditional Chinese culture, it is a symbol of happiness, longevity and good fortune, commonly used as a subject in jadeite carving. The present lot contains a pair of highly translucent jadeites of emerald green color, finely matched in shape, color and size, meticulously carved in this auspicious subject.
