THIS AMULET DEPICTS A C-DRAGON AND DRAGON EMBRYO IN ONE. BOTH OF THESE MOTIFS WERE CONSIDERED TO BE MYSTICAL SYMBOLS THAT INSPIRED THE SPIRITUAL BELIEF IN THE REINCARNATION OF THE HUMAN SOUL AND ITS TRANSITION INTO THE AFTERLIFE. CONDITION- THIS PIECE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, NO MAJOR CRACKS, OR CHIPS. THIS STYLIZED C-DRAGON EMBRYO AMULET WAS CARVED FROM AN ANCIENT SEMI TRANSLUCENT AMBER GREEN NEPHRITE JADE GEMSTONE THAT HAS RETAINED MUCH OF THE ORIGINAL COLORS. THERE IS EVIDENCE OF GREAT AGE, MINERAL LEACHING, DEEP SUFFUSIONS AND CALCIFICATION OF THE GEMSTONE. TIME AND BURIAL IN THE EARTH HAS BLESSED THIS PIECE WITH RUSTIC RED SUFFUSIONS AND VEINING, SPOTTED BLACK PATINA AND A WONDERFUL FROSTED WHITE PATINA THAT ADDS A FURTHER DIMENSION OF ANCIENT AND AGELESS BEAUTY TO THE ARTIFACT. HISTORY- THIS STYLIZED C-DRAGON EMBRYO AMULET WAS CREATED DURING A TIME WHEN THE ANCIENT WORLD OF CHINA WAS MOVED BY MAGIC. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE EARLY NEOLITHIC PERIOD BEFORE ANY KNOWN DYNASTY AND SUPPOSEDLY BEFORE THE USE OF METAL.
