Gorgeous apple green pendant measures 31.4 x 16 x 5mm, no. 2404, it is engraved with ruyi growing on a cliff.
The ruyi (如意), considered one of the Eight Treasures, was a sceptre which represented power and authority.
The ruyi was originally a short sword with a sword-guard used for self-defense or gesturing. There is some speculation that it may have evolved from a back scratcher.
The head of the ruyi is similar to that of the lingzhi or “fungus of immortality” and the lotus.
The name “ruyi” is usually translated as “as you wish” or “in accordance with your desires”.
The ruyi now symbolizes good wishes and prosperity.
