A work of no later than the mid-first millennium B.C., it is carved of hard, semiprecious jadeite. An elegant straight nose sets off the wide-set eyes, now missing their inlay. In spite of the lifelike details of square jaw, small rounded chin, and puffy eyelids, the mouth defines the mask as other than a realistic depiction. For 8 mega pixel photo's please e-mail.
