A CARVED DRAGON-SHAPE JADE PENDANT <br/>SONG DYNASTY
Calcified and covered with spots, the jade pendant takes on the form of a two-thirds circle plate, creating the curved appearance of a dragon across both sides of the carving. Spikes top the dragon’s spine. Its tail is rolled outwards, and its eyes are full of life. Its body was created through a double hook carving technique to form a moire pattern. The lines are graceful and smooth, revealing the rich artistic style of jade from the Shang Dynasty.
