This jade object features a flat, elongated tablet form, resembling an archaic jade ritual blade (gui) or spade. The piece has a well-defined silhouette, with the upper end tapering into a trapezoidal crest pierced with a finely drilled circular aperture. The main mid-section is rectangular and remains completely plain and unadorned. The lower end narrows slightly to form a handle, accented at its boundaries by a few parallel horizontal incised lines. Crafted from a vibrant green stone, the surface exhibits rich, mottled coloration, with shades of emerald and forest green interspersed with natural pale cream, dark grey patches, and earthy reddish-brown russet inclusions.Dimensions: Length: 13.5 cm (5.31 in.), Width: 2 cm (0.79 in.).
