Amulet in the Form of a Seated Figure with Bovine Head
A pale green and grey nephrite jade amulet carved as a seated figure with a bovine head. Two curved, horn-like forms rise above a squared face with incised chevron marks, while dark mottled patches run through the stone beneath the compact, upright body.
Look closer: Small incised chevron marks on the face of the figure.
