E21 Spring and Autumn Strange Beast Crystal Carving
(Length: 8.40cm, Height: 2.92cm)
In ancient China, crystal was called "water jade", and crystal ornaments have been discovered during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the jade beast carvings were ancient and awkward, with a simple and simple form, a bit rigid style, and the degree of realism was inadequate.
However, this strange beast is slightly docile and realistic, but it is different from the fierce style of beast carving in the Warring States Period. Should be spring and autumn time.
It has a simple and simple carving, full body, prone shape, long and thick ears, pear-shaped eyes, a horizontal string-like protrusion at the nose, a short and thick tail, and the front feet reach the lower part of the head with a hole in it. Wearable.
The whole device has no texture, and the transparent crystal surface has been weathered with a more obvious common name, which is the proof of a long time. This instrument is pure and natural, and crystal sculptures are rare and precious in the ancient times.
