Huáng de jade tallado "Tapires", Reinos Combatientes Carved white jade pendant, with ochre and brownish spots. It has a fan or half ellipse shape, with two bodies of different widths, strategically joined and crowned by a scroll ornament that reminds us of traditional jade combs. On the obverse side there are seven small tapirs carved in great detail. They are standing upright on their four legs, as if they were climbing up the jade, adding great dynamism to the composition. The reverse is adorned, in each of the arches, by a succession of archaic motifs and scrolls. It shows wear and patina due to age. Measures: 15,5 x 2,1 x 6,5 cm. Weight: 175 g
