A WHITE JADE RING WITH GRAIN PATTERN <br/>SPRING AND AUTUMN PERIOD
Carved from white jade, the ring shows traces of calcification and brown flecks. The circular plate-shaped body features carvings of similar patterns on both sides. Bas-relief and intaglio techniques were used to adorn both sides with decorative grain patterns. According to historical references, if the ratio of the hole shares a one-to-one proportion with the jade, then it should be considered a ring. The grain pattern on the jade ring is filled with particles, and the bright and polished jade manifests a glass luster. It served as a symbol of identity worn by noblemen during the Spring and Autumn Period.
