Dragon 2

 Circular dragon with upturned nose and curled tail
  • Green slightly translucent jade altered to reddish brown in places.
  • Extensive calcification, surface rust and pitting.
  • A serrated ridge goes down the back of the dragon; the tail splits and lies on both sides of the feet.
  • Back and tail are decorated with a diamond pattern of incised cuts; eyes and ears are done in relief.
  • Mostly flat carving is nicely tapered at the edges helping to suggest a solid animal.
  • In nany ways this piece is a small rendition of the Shang dragons 3, 4 and 5 reduced in size and scale.
  • Kelvin says, SungDy style.
  • 5.18 x 3.91 x 1.1 cm
