Huang 8

Pair of huang with scroll pattern 
  • Semi-translucent to opaque jade with inclusions.
  • Slender slabs of material have been carefully fashioned with a central panel and field of spirals for decoration.
  • The pair are bookmatched, ie. cut from the same piece of material.
  • The carvings have been cleaned (light abrasive marks are occasionally visible) and then polished to a mirror  finish.
  • Small pits and some skin 'wrinkle' is still visible on the surface.
  • The overall impression is one of delicacy; perhaps a modern interpretation of the archaic 'basket weave' style?
  • Age undertain.
  •  12.28 x 2.64 x .42 cm.
