    Description

    A GORGEOUS JADE , PIERCED PENDANT OR PLAQUE, PURCHASED IN MONTREAL A FEW DECADES AGO WHEN MY SISTER WAS A STUDENT AT McGILL
    .
    PALE GRAY GREEN WHITE BACKGROUND WITH VERY BRIGHT GREEN AREAS. JADE OR JADEITE HAND CARVED, HAND DRILLED, HAND POLISHED TO AN ICY FINISH. HAS NOT BEEN LABORATORY (GIA) TESTED.
    I photographed the edge of the plaque  so that you can see The edges and a slightly uneven raised surface. You can also see how the green Goes into and through  the stone
    CARVED SUBJECTS: A FIGURE WITH LARGE SIDE EARS MEANT TO REPRESENT A PANDA? A EATING,IT WOULD APPEAR ,GRAPES AND BENEATH A GRAPE WOODEN POLE GRAPE ARBOR.
    BACK OF PLAQUE: TEMPLE, 2 FISHES, 2 LILY OR LOTUS PADS OR THE LIKE.
    PIECE HAS BEEN HAND DRILLED WITH A HOLE AT TOP OF THE PENDANT BUT THIS IS ALSO MEANT TO BE DISPLAYED AS A WORK OF ART.
    ALTHOUGH COMPLETELY SMOOTH ,COLD AND ICY SURFACE TO THE TOUCH, THE HAND CARVED SURFACES JUST BARELY SHOW WHEN PENDANT IS TURNED IN THE LIGHT.
    WOULD NOT EVEN GUESS AT THE AGE. PURCHASED AS LISTED. THERE ARE SHADOW BROWN AREAS IN SOME OF THE CREVICES WHERE A BROWN MATERIAL IS SEEN BARELY SEEN AND IT HIGHLIGHTS THE VERY 3- DIMENSIONAL QUALITY OF THE CARVING
    TRANSLUCENT WHERE CARVING IS THNER THAN THE 1/2' THICKNESS OF THE PIECE
    VERY HEAVY AT 143 GR. IT MEASURES 3.5"X2.24"X.5"
    A CHARMING AND REMARKABLE WORK IF ART!
    Just added 6 new photos taken in natural daylight .Then you can see the crystalline structure of the jade. Held to the light you can see the translucency of the thinner areas.
    Will come in it’s hard shell, zipped carrying case as seen in photo
