In Chinese tradition, the horse stands for freedom, success, and perseverance. Its name carries a well-loved wish: 马上, "on horseback," also means "at once," a hope that success arrives without delay. Carved here at rest, the horse holds that promise in reserve. Pale nephrite lends it a cool, celadon calm, with a nephrite bead set above the carving.
Part of the Nephrite Collection, where each carving holds a wish worth keeping.
Even at rest, it looks ready to go.
