Description

This light green jade is mottled with amber and brown showing buff or calcified areas. The low but smooth polish leaves pitting only about edges and corners. The form is squat with the only slightly projecting cylinder ends. The broad "cruciform" walls are flat and smooth. A slightly convex inner wall suggests a smoothed biconical bore. During the burying, and possible unearthed from the burial at the time of collecting, traces of earth survived within the tube. 玉质青色，有灰白色、深褐色沁。器呈矮方柱体，外方内圆，中间贯穿一孔，两端出射。孔大，器壁厚。通体打磨光滑，无纹。(古方）
