This very striking small glossy Cong is typical for the Neolithic culture of Qijia nature 家. Impressive here is the grain with its striking contrasts of a cool green-gray to a deep Black. The demarcation is irregular and there are veins. The almost square Cong has straight edges and widened upwards, slightly, on both sides of the head are ring-shaped collars. This Cong is strikingly thick-walled, with 8 to 9mm. The bore shows the technical difficulties, the usual level is small, the channel widens towards the top. In the focused light of a yellow green hue, the Black on the edges is reddish.
