Notes

The Warring States towards the end of the Zhou Dynasty had 7 Major States fighting for hegemony but there were about 140 States in existence and were merged,exterminated etc to remain the 7. This Jade Doe is probably from one of those lesser States. Note the following

01. This is again a WIP(Work in Progress).

02. The design pattern on the Jade is unusual and not of the Major 7 States.

03. There is a pair of holes at neck for attachment.

04. The triangular pattern at hind portion is similar to that of the monkey near the arms area. 

On the whole have about 10 of these similar WIP,but not enogh to form a new series collection.
