Jade Bird

Sep 4 2024

This exquisite artifact is crafted from light green jade, its surface exhibiting the intricate transformation caused by the infusion of minerals and other elements over time. \

Due to the indistinct detailing, identifying the exact species of bird it represents is challenging.

The sculpture features a small head, large yet short legs, a short bill, medium-sized wings, and a compact body—characteristics that suggest it may depict a pigeon.

Similar examples of jade bird sculptures have been discovered within Hongshan Culture, further highlighting its potential significance.
