Materials and Techniques:
Pale yellow and green jade, with brown markings. Most details of the face are indicated in thread-like lines. Openwork occurs on the discs attached to the ear-lobes, and on the lower frame of the neck. The flaring top- and base-bars are notched. The roof-shaped upper lip bares four large teeth. The narrow edges of top and base have each three symmetrically arranged bore-holes, of which only the two lateral ones are met by corresponding bore-holes from the back. Back plain. (Salmony, 1952)
