In popular lore, the rat is associated with riches and therefore considered an auspicious image. White rats were believed to live one hundred years and to possess the power of divination. They were supposedly able to predict good or bad luck for a whole year and capable of foreseeing distant events.Literature comparison:This pair of rock crystal carvings can be considered a rare occurrence of the motif, along with a Liao rock crystal rat pendant excavated in Jiwangyingzi, Guanjiayingzi, 4 cm wide, and included in the exhibition Gilded Splendor: Treasures of China's Liao Empire (960-1125), Asia Society, New York, 2006, pp. 288-289, cat. no. 79b.
