Semi Human Pendant #5

Semi human with claws surmounted by dragon
 
  • Green translucent jade with reddish suffusion and calcification.
  • Carved in high relief with fine outlining of perimiter.
  • Oval cross-section; head noticably thicker than rest of carving.
  • Bottle horned dragon has typical Spring and Autumn style face; bottle horn feature was old-fashioned I imagine.
  • Human like being has clawed hands in a fetal pose.
  • Eye is strangely misplaced; is that just artistic license, or something like 'second sight'?
  • This jade strikes me as an archaistic interpretation of the semi-human figure in transformation. 
  • 7.5 x 3.2 x 1.33cm
