The ornament is carved from Hotan white jade, in a reclining posture, looking forward, with its tail curled around its body, appearing charmingly naive. Its texture is lustrous and smooth, with exquisite carving and a unique style: the whole body is polished smoothly, and with just a few strokes, its dynamic and lively appearance is vividly portrayed. The ancients believed that in addition to foretelling good fortune or averting disasters, dogs also had the power to ward off calamities. At the same time, dogs symbolized the arrival of wealth, and coupled with their loyal qualities, they have always been favored by people. This white jade dog is extremely simple, rich in texture, and an excellent piece for appreciation and collection.
