Jade Carving of Owl Axe
B006 Jade Carving of Owl Axe (Xia Dynasty or later, Height: 12.75cm, Width: 5.38cm)
Green jade, solid and heavy, reddish-brown. A jade axe (owl) is carved on the upper part of the jade axe, and there is an elephant trunk-shaped perforation on the back of the jaw neck, which is the same as the jade jade shape of Hongshan culture.
The upper end of the heavy axe is engraved with two parallel concave yin lines, and the axe body is carved with two characters (the text is to be verified). The bottom of the device has no texture.
The whole device is simple and heavy, with special shape, simple carving work, full body, simple and natural. I wonder whether it is hung as a sacrificial device? Such utensils are rare.
