Description.
A yellow jade pendant with a natural patina and dark veins. The piece has a stylised bird's head shape with a prominent crest and finely carved details in low relief, highlighting the textures of the feathers. The back of the piece has a central projection with two suspension holes. The head extends into a curved neck, ending in a hook, suggesting its possible use as a pendant or belt ornament. This type of piece, which is highly symbolic, is related to beliefs of protection and social status.
