Pair of Arc-shaped Pendants with Animal Mask and Interlaced Animal Ban
A pair of arc-shaped jade pendants, each shown front and back, carved in low relief with interlaced animal bands and a central animal mask with curling scrolls. The stone shows pale yellowish and green tones with mottled surface staining, and each piece has a small hole at the top for suspension.
Look closer: A small suspension hole pierces the top center of each arc.
