Description

The jade raw material is of mottled green, brown, amber and cream colors with faintest traces of calcification along veins. Its thin rectangular form is perforated neatly and centrally from top to bottom and carved with dragon profiles. Its right-angle and spiral-ended forms are expressed also in the indented silhouette. Carving on both faces is in low rounded relief with faintly incised eyes, curls and striated bars. Faint traces of earth and red pigment remain observable. 玉质青色，半透明，有灰黑色沁斑、朱砂痕迹。整体长条形，表面碾琢四组蟠虺纹。通体打磨光润，一孔贯穿上下。(Gu Fang)
