Description:
Made of light green jade, the pendant shows dark, sesame specks, and the end reveals a light tinge of brown. The dragon turns its head, and its body approximates an "S"-shape. Below the neck, the body rises twice, and there is no space in between the two rising sections. Therefore, the frontal view seems as though two arching curves are tightly aligned, but they lack the sense of mobility notwithstanding the erecting tail. Apparently, the shape of this pendant is limited by the form of the material. Comparing with other "S"-shaped dragons, which became popular since the Warring States period, this Western Han Jade dragon has a rigid appearance, but the treatment of the patterns is delicate and decent.
