Five hand-carved jadeite horses in blue silk-covered cardboard presentation boxes. Three of similar design, one each of two other designs. One design shows a horse with one foot on a flying swallow. Horses have been significant symbols of power, strength, and wealth in Chinese culture for millennia, and the horse appears as one of the twelve animal figures in the Chinese zodiac. Jadeite is a sodium-aluminum silicate which is the principle mineral of gemstone jade. Jadeite is highly prized for its depth of color and durability with a hardness similar to quartz.
