Subject:Hongshan axe
Posted By: Alex Wed, Jan 01, 2025 IP: 77.171.6.146

I have bought this nephrite jade axe from a collection of a antique dealer who passed away. Is it Hongshan or later? The holes are not drilled but ground out biconicle.It measures 22 cm.

The few Hongshan carvings I have seen are very fine and delicately carved. Your item should be kept as a study piece of what ancient carvings do not look like.
