Notes

Another corroded but unusual Jade.This resembles a Skier because of the elongated limbs that are joined to skies. Note the following:

01.The head though corroded,still resembles a human head.

02.On the non-corroded area,can discern that the material is Nephrite.

03.The upper limbs are attached to what seems like a skies base.

04.The rear ends in a downwards curled tail.

05.The front breast is covered with cloud pattern  designs,giving it a tentative Han Dynasty date.

Unusual Jade for research and evaluation.
