A DELICATE BRACELET IN DARK GREEN JADE WITH YELLOW-COLOURED SPECKLES AND A SMOOTH CONCAVE BORDER Katalognummer: JAK0917-006 Jade China Late Neolithic, Liangzhu culture, c.3300-2200 BC 玉鐲 - 新石器時代晚期, 良渚文化晚期, 約公元前2400-2200年 DIAMETER: 9.4 CM, DIAMETER OF INNER HOLE: 8.1 CM, THICKNESS: 7.1 MM 直徑9.4厘米，內孔直徑8.1厘米，厚7.1厘米 This exquisite Late Neolithic jade bracelet is almost contemporary in form. It is evenly worked and shaped like a thick band of overall equal thickness with a slightly concave outer side. The jade is thoroughly polished, with a slightly rounded edge on the inner side; the circular shape of the ornament is also somewhat irregular, showing that the bracelet was shaped by hand. The mottled yellow and orangey areas and whitish fine lines give a spectacularly interesting effect to the dark green jade.
