BIG "CALCIFIED" "LIANGZHU" CONG

Classically inscribed with two registers of T'ao T'ieh monster masks and fine horizontal lines, the stone (bowenite?) now fully altered to a mellow ivory white (the desirable "chicken-bone" or jigubai jade, sometimes called "calcified"). A hefty example (almost a full pound), convincingly carved. From a good New York State collection long ago. Another view here..
