Description

Bright Green Nephrite Jade Horse Head Cane Handle

This horse head cane handle is carved by hand from a solid piece of natural nephrite jade in a rich, bright green. The stone is deep and evenly colored, with soft cloudy shading in places, and it is polished to a high, glass-like gloss that catches the light along the neck, the cheek and the long nose.

A Lifelike Horse Portrait in Stone

The master lapidary has shaped the head with careful attention to anatomy: alert, pointed ears, a defined cheek, flowing lines of the neck and mane, and softly flared nostrils. The eye is set with a small gemstone in a metal setting, which gives the horse a bright, living look. Nephrite jade is a tough stone, which makes it a good choice for detailed carving that is meant to be held and handled.

For Walking Sticks and Collections

The head sits on a cylindrical base made for mounting on a cane shaft. It is a distinctive handle for a gentleman’s walking stick or a decorative cane, and it is also a handsome display piece for a desk or a shelf. It makes an unusual gift for horse lovers, riders, collectors of walking sticks and admirers of fine stone carving.

The Horse as a Symbol

For thousands of years the horse has stood for strength, freedom, loyalty and nobility. Carved in green jade, a stone long valued in many cultures, it becomes a lasting piece with a classic, timeless feel.
