102 ROGER KEVERNE WINTER 2008 82 A jade figure of a goose 17th–18th centuries Length: 2G in, 6.1 cm in a recumbent position with its head and neck turned over its back and holding a stem of leafy, fruiting peach in its beak. Its wings are simply incised in low relief and decorated with archaistic scrolls; its legs and claws are worked in low relief to the underside. The semi-translucent stone is a greenish-white tone. Geese and peaches are symbolic of long life. A similar figure is illustrated in Tsiang, Radiance and Virtue: The R. Norris Shreve Collection of Chinese Jade and Other Oriental Works of Art, pl. 28, p. 43; and note also a related figure of a crane in Jadeware (III): The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, no. 80, p. 100.
83 ROGER KEVERNE WINTER 2008 103 A fine jade group of cranes 18th century Length: 5 in, 12.7 cm the birds rest with their heads turned over their backs to face each other, the larger holding a spray of fruiting, leafy peach in its beak. The cranes are well detailed with short crests, incised, round eyes and neatly folded wings, incised with various patterns; their legs and claws are worked in low relief to the underside. The semi-translucent stone is a good cloudy-white tone with very small oatmeal inclusions. Cranes and peaches are both symbolic of longevity, and this subject represents the rebus Heshou yannian (May the crane and peaches grant you one thousand years).
