A CELADON JADE ‘BIRD’ PENDANT
WESTERN ZHOU DYNASTY, C. 1100-771 BC
This silhouette of a bird has a flattened, angular head, and a sharply pointed beak. The wing feathers are embellished with incised lines which rise out of the scrolls that form the breast. The bifurcated tail seems to be that of a fish. Pierced through the breast is a small hole.
3 1/8 in. (8 cm.) long, box
