We are pleased to present a very old pendant-amulet crafted from Hetian jade, featuring a carved depiction of a lotus on water with hieroglyphs on one side and a lotus with hieroglyphs on each petal of the lotus on water on the other side. It dates back to the late Qing Dynasty (late 19th to early 20th century).
Jade is a precious stone symbolizing prosperity, protection, and longevity. The combination of a jade lotus with hieroglyphs creates a talisman with deep symbolic meaning.
The hieroglyphs on a jade lotus flower most likely represent the symbolic meanings associated with the lotus itself—such as purity, enlightenment, spiritual growth, wisdom, and transformation. They are also symbols of good fortune and prosperity. The exact meaning, however, depends on the specific hieroglyph used, as the lotus is a universal symbol revered across various cultures.
In China, a lotus carved from jade symbolizes purity, spiritual enlightenment, longevity, happiness, and nobility. Jade has long been prized for its virtuous qualities, while the lotus represents pure beauty rising from muddy waters. Together, they emphasize moral fortitude and spiritual understanding, making this combination a powerful symbol in Feng Shui for attracting harmony and positive energy.
