Woman with headdress #2

Figure with elaborate headdress, dragon shaped sleeves and skirt 
  • White, semi-opaque jade with green suffusion, calcification and pitting.
  • Same general arrangement as woman with headress #1, but several differences:
    • much simpler carving
    • no raised line
    • flat slab of jade
    • front and reverse are posed more realistically, less icon-like
  • Similar to jade in The Pictorial Handbook of Ancient Chinese Jades, Wen Wu Publishing, 2006, p. 126.
  • 9.9 x 4.2 x .5cm
