FAQs

In Chinese tradition, the water buffalo is a symbol of spring, agriculture, and perseverance, frequently depicted in jade to represent tranquility and harmony with nature.

Carvings were crafted from nephrite or jadeite using abrasive sands, water, and hand-drilling tools, relying on the natural colour variations of the stone to define the subject.

Authentic pieces exhibit tool marks visible under magnification, natural weathering patterns, and specific mineral inclusions rather than the uniform machine-polished surfaces found in modern replicas.

Displaying the piece on a neutral wooden surface or within a dedicated cabinet allows the natural translucency and tactile quality of the stone to act as a focal point.

Preservation requires dusting with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding chemical cleaners, ultrasonic machines, or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations.
