Secret Messages in Jade

The Lizzadro Museum hosts Yvonne in explaining Chinese jade carvings. Jade is said to have magical powers and when carved into shapes of butterflies, bats, pines, ribbons, and fruit, they are even more powerful. These designs are not only pleasing but also an important part of the Chinese picture-based language. These motifs and images actually communicate hidden messages, unexpected meanings for numbers, and appropriate gift recipients. Educator Yvonne Wolf will decipher some examples found in The Lizzadro Collection and share a shortcut to reading Chinese symbolism. RegisterRegister for this event. .
