Expert’s note: This jade figure shows a distinctive surface color alteration, most likely caused by the corrosion of bronzeware that lay in close proximity to it. Green malachite is a primary source of the greenish alteration often observed on excavated ancient jade artifacts. It is also possible that this pendant was once hidden inside a bronze vessel and subsequently buried together with it.

China, 10th-9th century BC. Finely carved in the form of a man in a crouching pose with bent legs, dressed in ornate robes, the long hair terminating in an upswept curl, the square face surmounted by a brimmed hat pierced with an aperture for suspension. The semi-translucent stone of an olive-green tone with areas of calcification and mottled patches of malachite.
