Blade 16

Massive Gui style tablet blade with dragon complex and script
  • Opaque green jade heavily calcified and eroded.
  • Four dragon heads are visible in the animal complex; their intertwining bodies also form beast faces.
  • Archaic script on the back (presumably back!)  with a decorative border.
  • The decorative work is all in low relief - it stands out nicely after the cleaning.
  •  Age is uncertain - it would be nice to believe it's old (ie. Zhou style), but most likely it is Qing. A recent listing by Skylink Corp of a similar jade listed a probable Qing origin.
  •  36.5 x 10.61 x 1.36 cm. - 1.126 kg.
