Description

It is semi-translucent blue-green stone with cream veining and gold clouding. Its creeping surface calcification obscures some of the fine "rococo" ornament (the same on both faces). The pendant is in form of large slotted disk with biconical perforations for hanging. Wall of open centre of disk carved with four projections to accommodate spiral ends of ear and wave-like motifs. Held upside down rather than suspended, one can see a highly ornamental elephant taotie (with lenticular eyes) carved to either side of the slot above the perforations. The rest of the linear and low relief decoration consists of curvilinear cloud and wave-like scolls, dots, etc., with a hatched lozenge on each face centred opposite the slot. 玉质青色，半透明，受沁严重呈灰白色。整体呈玦形，以缺口为轴，中孔有4组对称的扉棱，外缘出3组对称的扉棱，表面阴刻卷云纹、网格纹。两面纹饰相同。通体磨光，缺口两侧各有一小穿孔，可以穿绳佩带。
