TWO DARK GREEN JADE AXES

NORTHWEST CHINA, 3RD-2ND MILLENNIUM BC

Each thick axe has a hafting hole; that of the larger axe is drilled from both sides. The smaller axe, probably reshaped in antiquity from a larger axe, has the remains of an additional hole at the blunt end. The jade is now almost opaque.

The larger, 9 ¾ in. (24.7 cm.) high, cloth box
