Description:
Carved from an ancient jade piece, this pendant emulates the form and decorations of dragon pendants of the Spring and Autumn period. Not only are the cloud patterns too complex, there are many fine line patterns that do not belong to the Spring and Autumn period on the cloud patterns. In addition, the dragon chin is too sharp and curly, and the nose is too big. The reader can compare these qualities with an authentic dragon pendant of the Spring and Autumn periode, and he/she will discover that the imitation lacks the energetic innovation of the dragon pendants of the Eastern Zhou period.
