Curling dragon pendant with bird/fish-like tail - Slightly translucent light green jade, calcified with spots of reddish suffusion
- Body is tapered in cross-section, with many decorative double-incised lines - effect similar to thread relief
- The decoration is worked in typical Zhou patterns - squarish spirals and hooks, beautifully executed
- The carving stands nicely, but was probably meant to wear on a cord
- Likely a Zhou effort
- 6.6 x 2.4 x .7 cm
