Arc-shaped Pendant with Animal Mask and Interlaced Animal Bands (Huang
A thin arc-shaped jade pendant of mottled green-gray nephrite, carved in low relief with a central animal mask flanked by interlaced, curling animal bands. A small drilled hole pierces the top center, and the stone's natural russet staining shows at the edges.
Look closer: A small drilled hole at the top of the arc, used for suspension.
