Notes

This Jade Human Face Profile is of very unusual design.

Note the following:

01.The technique used was predominantly pecking, as the whole surface is pimpled but had been tediously polished until a matted shine,that is very appealing.

02.The nose is large and slighltly hooked and there seems to be a smirk rather than a smile on the lips. The world's 1st. cynic?

03.The neolithic/prehistory artistic imagination cotinued to amaze and confound modern perception that  neolithic Jade "carvers" are cavemen!!
