Notes

This Collection is of Jade artefacts forming component(part of) of very elaborate pectoral pendant sets.In vogue with the elite and royalty of the Eastern Zhou(Warring States) and Han Dynasty more than two thousand years ago.

 

This Jade(Nephrite) arch and crescent shape pendant has two intricately design dragon head at each end.Note the set of teeth. The body is covered with raised cloud patterns. The middle lower section is 'carved' a pair of 'dragons' representing the YANG energy of its original owner. The design is the same on the other side. A Heritage Masterpiece!!

  As an indication of value ,something similar to above; the major difference was a pair of Phoenixes(YIN energy),was auctioned in Beijing 2004. The final auction price was above USD200.000/=!!!
