Notes
This is actually a combination of a Phoenix head with a Dragon body.(Ying and Yang).The Jade(Nephrite) is translucent green and even texture. The design is finished in true raised lines and is done on both sides. The elegant simplicity and technical adroitness shown is the reason why the Zhou Dynasty is a Golden Age in Chinese Jade  History.
