清 白玉雙羊擺件 Qing Dynasty period. Carved as a large ram recumbent with its young nestled to the front, both grasping a lingzhi branch in mouths, the jade of an even white color. Height: 1 7/8 in (5.0 cm) Length: 3 3/8 in (8.5 cm) Width: 2 2/8 in (5.5 cm) 玉質潔白溫潤，純凈無暇。精雕的三隻羊姿態各異，寓意三羊開泰。情景生動討喜。三陽開泰是祝頌新春的賀詞，代表吉祥如意。表示三陽已生，否極泰來，即情況由壞變好，一切都向好的方向發展。由於“羊”和“陽”同音，所以後來人們又把“三陽開泰”寫成“三羊開泰”。
