Notes

Difficult to classify,so will name it as a Jade Stylised Bird from the Shang Dynasty.Note the following:

01. The Jade Bird seems to be in flight with flowing plumes and aerodynamic body.

02.The Jade is Nephrite  and translucent.

03.The designs are all in double-incised lines and elegantly executed.

All in all an excellent Jade Bird from the Shang Dynasty of Old China.
