The wish-granted wand, commonly called ruyi scepter, carved from a single piece of nephrite jade, with slightly curved handle terminating the everted end. the ruyi head carved with quatrefoil flori-form petal shape, depicts dragon in a pursuit of flaming pearl amidst clouds. The wand with relief of boy holding a censer of ceremonial offering. The reverse side carved with fine character inscriptions followed by a seal mark. Adorned with metallic-yellow tassel. The jade displays pale-celadon in color with clean tone, and moist milky appearance. The ruyi, considered one of the Eight Treasures, was a scepter which represented power and authority. The ruyi was originally a short sword with a sword-guard used for self-defense or gesturing. There is some speculation that it may have evolved from a back scratcher. The head of the ruyi is similar to that of the Lingzhi or "fungus of immortality" and the lotus. The name "ruyi" is usually translated as "as you wish" or "in accordance with your desires". The ruyi now symbolizes good wishes and prosperity.
