Notes

Always amazed at the diversity of designs that decorate these  pendants components of the Han and Zhou Dynasties. Note the following:

01.There is a blunt nosed Dragon and a Phoenix on either end of the pendant.

02.This design is of an interlocked bench spiralon the pendant's body.

03.The Jade is of a mellow brown Nephrite due to ageing and probably would have been a translucent white originally.

04.There is a hole in the upper middle section for attachment.

Posted to show the variety of designs on the body of pendant components.
