Title |
Ceremonial Blade with Three Perforations (Dao) |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Object type | Jade | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
This impressive blade combines the beauty of material, precision of geometry, and mastery of technique. The fine polish, silken sheen, and extreme thinness (only 2 mm thick) make it an outstanding example of meticulous workmanship in ancient jade craft. Recent recoveries of similar blades from a pit of a Qijia cultural site located in northwest China reveal that they were originally standing on their edges and were arranged in parallel formations at the ritual ground. |
