The auction item is made of Hetian jade, with excellent quality, warm and lustrous. Featuring a three-dimensional bas-relief and openwork carving of cranes and pine trees symbolizing longevity. Cranes rest among lush pine trees, with long beaks and abundant feathers, appearing leisurely, noble, and elegant. The cranes and pine trees complement each other, demonstrating endless vitality. In ancient auspicious symbolism, since pine trees remain evergreen and do not wither in severe cold, and cranes are considered long-lived auspicious birds, the combination of pine and crane imagery thus carries the auspicious meaning of "pine and crane extending longevity," which was also a common theme for birthday celebrations in the imperial court.
