Subject:Authentic Shang Dynasty Taotie Pendant?
Posted By: Masuizai Fri, Dec 07, 2018 IP: 93.231.29.139
I bought this nice carving of a Taotie Mask. It looks old and worn to me.
And it looks like a 😛 smiley...
I have found a similar style white nephrite jade in the Collection of the Museum of Arts in Chicago...
What's your opinion on this pendant?
Thanks for sharing!

Sorry to inform you that this carving was made to deceive the collectors. It does not have the finesse of a true old carving.

Agree with Ernest, the poor quality of the material and carving of this piece made me cringe. I just hope you did not pay a fortune for it. No pun intended.

Thank you guy's!
No. I didn't pay that much for it, so no harm done.
