Semi Human #2

Human face in abstract crouching position.
  • Redish-green jade (greener than images) with pitting, surface wrinkle, and calcification.
  • Head appears to be topped by some sort of cap.
  • Body is noticeably oval in cross-section.
  • Design elements are worked in raised relief, and are also undercut on each side.
  • Arms and lower body are abstractly suggested - in fact, only by comparison with other 'fetal position' jades can we get some sense of the figure.
  • The decorative elements consist of hooks and lines, as well as angular "C" scrolls.
  • The jade material seems to have been naturally opaque.
  • 8.4 x 3.1 x 1.4 mm
