《乾隆御玩》款|御制南红玛瑙巧雕「刘海」,以上乘南红玛瑙为材,配上出色的巧雕技术,刻画出刘海连钱为绳,戏引金蟾的经典民间故事。此刘海宽额圆脸,头顶右方巧雕为发髻,面露笑颜,身体肥硕,袒胸露腹。刘海背上巧雕一扫帚。右手手持如意,轻放于身前。左手握绳,串连红蝠、金蟾、五枚金币伏于肩上。三足金蟾大眼,以高浮雕巧雕为双目圆瞪,神情逼真。左足轻踏红蝠,后足缠于绳间,右足踏于刘海脑后,三足脚爪根根分明,雕功细腻。红蝠以深红色玛瑙巧雕,张翼俯伏于刘海左侧,寓意福气降临。下方葫芦口释烟云,延绵不绝至刘海足下。刘海双足前后屈曲,脚踏如意祥云,整体构图巧妙,极为讨喜。|最为难得的是,小小一寸半的玉坠,巧雕共有十处:刘海右手手握如意、鞋子、葫芦、蝙蝠、金蟾、发髻;背面的金钱、扫帚、《乾隆御玩》圆款、脚上云端。十处巧雕处处均见工夫到家,当中工匠充分利用南红玛瑙红白相间之处,巧妙地雕成刘海。右手白色的大拇指按压于红色的如意之中段,构思极为精妙,实为巧雕中的巧雕,让人拍案叫绝。十处巧雕暗合乾隆皇帝「十全武功」的辉煌战绩及「十全老人」的美誉,工夫处处、心思处处,充份表现出清宫造办处鬼斧神工,技艺精妙。刘海背面的《乾隆御玩》圆款进一步揭示了它是乾隆皇帝爱不释手的珍玩之一,弥足珍贵。|「刘海戏蟾」是中国民间流传甚广的道教故事,古人相信蟾蜍能催吉避凶助长生,是主富贵的吉祥灵物,金蟾乃进一步神化之物,形态特殊只有三足,凸眼大嘴能致富。另外,古人认为葫芦能护身避邪,谐音「福禄」,与仙道有深切的关联。有说「刘海戏金蟾,一步一吐钱」,此挂坠刻划刘海以法器葫芦放出祥云吸引金蟾,金蟾生财有道,寓意财富福气,如祥云般滚滚而来。如此工种俱佳的宫廷珍宝,送礼或自用皆为上上之选。|A RARE CHINESE IMPERIAL CARNELIAN AGATE 'LIUHAI' AND TOAD PENDANT|QIANLONG FOUR-CHARACTER MARK AND OF THE PERIOD (1736-1795)|
