Latest Chinese Archaeological research seems to indicate that the Liangzhu Culture disappeared without traces around BC 2000 (4000 years ago).This could be due to natural disasters like tsunami as near coastal waters or a mass transmigration. The Liangzhu Culture Jades fascinating and shrouded in mystery.A case in point is this Jade.Note the following:
01.The Jade Cong is 3-sided rather the normal 4-sided.
02.Seems to be made from Jade that was already old even in Liangzhu Culture Era.Note the dark brown surface patina contrast with the yellow inner core.
03.Divided into 2-sections with a simplified face design.
The diversity of Jades,Shapes and Patinas contributes to the collectability of Liangzhu Culture Jades.
