Nephrite carving of two Ch'ih-Dragons, clambering at the sides of a shallow vessel. Size 4.5cm x 4 cm.
The lighter areas are a creamy white/gray, and the darker areas range from medium to dark brown, almost black.
This Nephrite carving has been declared to be from
the Sung dynasty, yet there is a strong indication that it could be as
old as being from the Chou 1027 - 771 B.C. dynasty. The carving shows age, but no damage.
Who can help?
