This Hetian jade double goose is characterized by its warm, delicate, dense, and tough jade quality. Employing round carving and openwork techniques, it depicts two geese in a reclining posture. They hold a lotus flower in their beaks, which is shown in full bloom. The goose feathers and lotus textures are meticulously carved with incised lines, exhibiting balanced proportions and smooth lines. The jade geese face each other, displaying a serene and tender expression. Since the Jin Dynasty and Wang Xizhi, literati and refined scholars have shown a fondness for geese, making them a common animal motif in jade carvings. The jade geese are not large, but elegant and refined, often favored as study ornaments by scholar-officials.
