A LARGE CHINESE CARVED CELADONA LARGE CHINESE CARVED CELADON JADE GROUP "SWIMMING CAR...A LARGE CHINESE CARVED CELADON JADE GROUP "SWIMMING CARP AND CHILDREN," MODERN, centering a carp swimming through a long-stemmed lotus bud and stylized river foliage with a girl and boy child clutching a fin to crawl up its scaly sides, raised on a custom black lacquered and breaking waves carved wood stand. Height: 23 1/2" Width: 17" Depth: 8 1/4" Note: In traditional Chinese iconography, the carp symbolizes great meanings such as an abundance of children since it produces many eggs, or if a pair of carp then symbolizing a harmonious marriage, and if depicted swimming and leaping against a river current to reach the spawning grounds, then it refers to the Liyutiaolongmen legend that when a carp swims and leaps over the mythological Dragon Gate then it will become a dragon. This is an allegory for sometimes one needs persistent effort to overcome obstacles. Also, the Chinese character mark for carp is pronounced the same as the character marks for profit and power/strength. Provenance: Collection of Joelle Rogers, Houston, Texas
