Monster face with flaming eyes, long tusks and flowing hair - Light green translucent jade with a red vein of suffusion; light pickling of the skin.
- Features are carved in high relief and very frightening; particularly the hair growing from his nose!
- Suffusion is probably artfully applied - there are traces visible in other light fissures in the surface.
- The face has a very blocky appearance - just what is the rectangular thing on the forehead (perhaps part of helmet)?
- Likely a Ming or Qing effort.
- 6.59 x 6.35 x 2.41 cm.
