A rare Jade Sitting Bear in the round from the Shang Dynasty of 3000years ago. Note the following:

01. The Jade is a translucent white Nephrite.

02. The hands are represented as claws forms which is realistic.

03. Unusual in that the mouth is a bored hole with side holes to represent teeth.

04. Faint designs are still visible on the back, but one distinctive Shang eye design is prominent .

All in all, a rare Shang dynasty animal Jade!!!
