Han Dynasty Jade Mask or Fitting. This mask is intricately carved in extremely high relief with all the classic Taotie features such as eyes, horns, and a top jaw with no bottom half, like numerous other known ancient examples. It is made of a very pretty light green calcified Nephrite Jade with reddish/brown mottling and rivering throughout. It is drilled for attachment in the lower left and right corners and also drilled on the top center, similar to drilling seen on ancient scabbard chapes. This Jade exhibits a fine old smooth polish over its entirety. Truly an ancient Masterwork. Han Dynasty. (1st Century B.C. - 1st Century A.D.). Measures 2" tall x 2 1/4" wide x 3/4" thick. Weighs an ample 99.5 grams.
