Description:
A fine and opaque yellow stone with a grayish tinge, the handle of this plaque is black, and the sharp edge is reddish brown. The form is slender and trapezoidal, and the cross-section is rectangular. The handle has two holes, and an emerald may have been sewed on the hole that is closer to the edge. The sharp edge is straight, and it is unused. Literary sources call this type of ritual wares that derive its form from axes and spades "gui," and it is a status symbol.The middle section of both sides indicates a delicate, low relief. The sharp edge must face upward for the motif to face the viewer. The motif is divided into two parts, and the upper part is a facemask carved with two large eyes whereas the lower part is a rectangular band carved with an abstract facemask.
