Description:
This green jade shows a brown tinge in a small area, and its curvature approximates a Chinese fan shape. Each of the two ends has a small hole for fastening a string. The motifs are similar on both sides, and they illustrate two tigers in low relief. The tigers face away from each other, spread their jaws, stretch their eyes, and appear fierce. The tiger body is abstractly formed by a broad, curling band decorated with various kinds of curly patterns. On one end, there is an oval that represents the eye of the beast. Jade artisans were good at designs, and they used the hole for fastening a string as the eyeball. The upper edge of the pendant has carved ridges.
