Notes

The Hongshan Culture of northeast China (Liaoning Province) is famous for its Jade and this Trinity Symbolic Jade is one of reason why.

Note the following:

01.The design is a Trinity of: Head-Bird;that flies in the Sky.Head-Animal;that walk on the Earth and Tail-Fish;that swim in Waters.

02.The Center Hole may symbolises the union of the three.

03. This Antique Jade is a very unique manifestation of the spiritual beliefs of the Hongshan Culture.

One of my favourite Hongshan Jades.
