Ape

Ape-man in a human-like pose  
  • Translucent pale green jade with reddish suffusion, much pitting, and calcification.
  • Decoration consists of curls and hooks created by double incised lines - this style is quite archaic, may predate Shang. 
  • Pose is decidedly human, but the hands and feet are not.
  • I really don't know what to make of this - it is definitely old.
  •  5.4 x 3.8 x 2.4 cm.
