Vintage Chinese Nephrite Jade Serpentine Hardstone Carving Stylized Deity figure

Inspired by ancient Chinese jade carving traditions of the Hongshan and Han dynasties, this hand-carved figurine captures the essence of archaic ritual art. Expertly carved from mottled nephrite jade or serpentine hardstone, the piece displays striking natural colour variation—pale celadon green graduating to deep near-black tones. The stylized deity figure bears incised geometric relief patterns characteristic of historic amulets and ceremonial objects. A museum-quality collectible that honours timeless craftsmanship and cultural heritage. approx 5 inches
