Bottle horn dragon pendant with curling tail - Translucent jade with whitish opaque areas; some occlusions and surface damage.
- Decoration is by parallel incised lines mostly serving to delineate features.
- Basically a flat slab, although it tapers at one point probably due to a hollow in the original jade.Â
- This jade strikes me as simple and charming.
- Han - cf. Rawson, Chinese Jades, 1995, p 284, #19:6, for a similarly styled pendant of a different subject.
- 7.58 x 3.02 x .46 cm
