worked on one side of the cartouche with two prunus blooms, the reverse with a five-character inscription above a mountainous setting with a pavilion at the front, all below reticulated curling foliage, the stone of a translucent variegated apple-green colour

The pendant is in overall good condition. There are minute nicks to the edges and fragile extremities. The unevenness of the pendant is probably original to the carving.
