An 18th century white jade group of 3 rams, the jade of pure mutton fat colour carved almost in the round to show a ram, head with luxuriant beard turned around, seated next to his partner and with a young ram perched on his back, the base finely carved to show detailed line decoration of the underside of the legs and hooves. Coupled with its original ivory stand, carved as a slice of a tree trunk with foliage. Three Rams’ (sanyang) design is commonly found represented in Chinese art, particularly in Jade. The ram is a traditional emblem of good luck, since the Chinese term for ram (or goat), yang, is a homophone of yang, ‘sun’, and represents the male or positive principle in the yin-yang duality. The Chinese character for ram is also used as a variant for a similar character pronounced xiang, which means happiness. Three rams, san yang, are considered a particularly auspicious symbol, evoking the expression sanyang kaitai, the awakening of nature in spring, which signifies good luck and happiness.
