Carved human head-shaped pendant
Carved human head-shaped pendant
Some people think that this side view of a big-eyed human head is the legendary "One-Eye Country". According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", there are thirty-six countries overseas, one of which is One-Eye Country, where one eye grows in the middle of the face. Of course, it is still unknown whether this human head pendant is the legendary One-Eye Country.
The human head pendant is made of local jade. It is reddish brown in color. The whole body is eroded by soil. There are soil pits and associated crystals. But it feels smooth.
This jade head pendant is a side profile, with wide eyes, hooked nose, small mouth, big ears, and top hair. There is a large round hole on the cheek, which is presumably used for wearing.
Because the jade head is heavily corroded, it is not transparent when illuminated. The shape of its soil erosion pit is very typical, and there are semi-living crystals attached. It is a specimen for studying soil corrosion of ancient jade.
