Silver and jade pendant ‘Leopard’, Qing dynasty

White carved jade, with subtle reddish flecks. It has an oval shape and a smooth, soft surface. It is framed by a later silver and gold-plated mount in the form of an elegant golden leopard adorned with gem-set stones. Its elongated body encircles the stone, with its head resting on the upper part, looking straight ahead, on two thick legs with sharp claws.
