This is a truly exceptional find—a Rare Antique Natural "Old Mine" Dark Green Nephrite Ritual Vessel (modeled after a mythical Bixi or Pixiu) housed in its original, master-carved Heavy Solid Hardwood Presentation Box. This ensemble represents a complete "Wealth Treasure" intended for a high-ranking official or an imperial scholar's study.

Item Description

The Nephrite Vessel: * Material: Natural "Old Mine" Dark Green Nephrite Jade. The stone is a profound, "Ink-Green" with a dense, oily luster and natural mineral "skin" variations on the base that verify its historical origin.

• Design: This is a zoomophic ceremonial vessel (possibly a water dropper or incense container). The creature is a powerful mythical beast with a dragon-like head and a stout, protective body. The lid is a technical masterpiece, featuring pierced openwork (Linglong) of dragons amidst clouds, allowing the energy (or smoke/scent) to rise through the stone.

• The Base: The four feet are carved as powerful talons, and the underside bears a gold-infilled four-character Imperial-style seal mark, denoting its status as a piece of significant provenance.

The Presentation Box:

• Material: Heavy, solid aged hardwood (likely Zitan or Rosewood) with a deep, naturally developed patina.

• The Carvings: The lid is entirely covered in a deep-relief "Leiwen" (Thunder Pattern) border surrounding a central panel of archaic cloud scrolls. The interior is custom-fitted to the exact silhouette of the jade piece, ensuring its protection for centuries.

Feng Shui & Symbolic Meaning

1. The Zoomorphic Vessel (The Container of Fortune)

In Feng Shui, a vessel shaped like a mythical beast is a "Living Safe."

• The Pierced Lid: The dragons on the lid signify "Ascending Energy." It suggests that your career and influence are always rising, never stagnant.

• Wealth Storage: Because the belly of the beast is hollow, it acts as a "Cai Ku" (Wealth Vault). It is believed to store the household's gold and protect it from being stolen or lost.

2. The Hardwood Box (Earth Support)

• The Power of Wood: Solid wood represents the Wood Element (growth). Placing the jade (Metal/Earth energy) inside a heavy wood box creates a balanced elemental cycle.

• Symbolic Protection: The "Thunder Patterns" on the lid are traditional symbols of Supreme Protection and Heavenly Power, warding off negative spirits from entering the treasure.

3. Dark Green "Old Mine" Nephrite

• Ink-Green Power: This deep, near-black saturation represents the Water Element (wealth). In Feng Shui, "Still Water" (deep green jade) is the most powerful for attracting high-level financial opportunities and wisdom.

Best Placement: Home or Office

Because this piece comes with its own "sacred container," it is best used as a Security Anchor.

In the Office (The Executive Desk)

• The Northwest Sector: This is the "Patriarch/Leadership" sector. Keeping this treasure here (either in or out of the box) strengthens your authority and ensures you have the "backing" of those in power.

• Facing the Entrance: Position the beast so it "looks" at the door. It will greet wealth Chi while scaring off competitors or those with ill intent.

At Home (The Family Treasury)

• The Southeast Corner: This is the universal Wealth and Abundance sector. Placing this "Wealth Vault" here activates the accumulation of savings and protects the family's assets.

• The Safe Room: If you have a room where you keep valuables, this piece acts as the "Grand Guardian." Keeping it inside its box creates a layer of "Secret Luck"—wealth that grows quietly and securely without attracting unwanted attention.

Transparency: Translucent 

Remarks: It comes with box or pouch. All Natural Crystal, Wood and Gemstones may have impurities, naturally occurring line or rough unless higher end stated close to perfect or perfect.
