Jade Knife Longshan Culture,China

Many superlatives can be used to describe this 7 - Holes Jade Blade and all are deserving:

Rarity: It will be difficult to acquire another Longshan Culture 7-hole Jade Blade of this quality and size.

Majestic:Indeed, for this Jade Blade is for ceremonial use and not for the plebian.

Powerful:The construction and structure exudes power and authority just by displaying it.A stand alone superb works of art.

Harmonious Unity:To me this is the superlative that best personifies this Jade Blade.The harmonious Jade Work that so beautifully combined with the natural enhancement by nature 'feng shui' forces through the eons...that exemplifies the phrase "created by Man... enhanced by Nature."
