Blade 10

 Small dagger with figurative hilt 
  • Pale green translucent jade with extensive pitting and calcification.
  • Hilt is fashioned in the shape of a semi-human with wings and cap, hands on hip and kneeling - a pose of transformation and amazement.
  • Delicate blade has inscribed characters - carving is the same on both sides.
  • The incised lines are finely carved and quite uniform.
  • Not clear whether this was a pendant, useable small blade, or a token of something completely different.
  • 16.8 x 3.78 x .49 cm.
