Item Details
Description
Jade
China, 19th/20th century
1 3/8 x 1 1/8 in. (height x diameter)

This beautiful white jade archer’s ring depicts incised decoration of a man outdoors and another man in a boat. The success of archery within Chinese warfare has much to do with this useful tool. The archer’s ring was worn on the thumb of the hand pulling the bowstring, both protecting the digit and providing a precise release action for the arrow. Today, the implement has evolved into pure ornamentation.


The ring has small chips to the sharp edge. The ring measures 1 3/8 x 1 1/8 in. (height x diameter).
