Carved Jade or Hardstone C-Dragon Pendant

This item is a hand-carved pendant, likely made of jadeite, nephrite, or a similar green-gray hardstone, designed in the form of a 'C-shaped' dragon or 'zhülong' (pig dragon). It measures approximately 2 to 2.5 inches in diameter. The stone exhibits a mottled pale sage green and grey color palette with significant dark mineral inclusions and brownish calcification or 'chicken-bone' white weathering patterns, suggesting an intentional aged or archaic aesthetic. The carving features deep incised lines forming a cross-hatch or diamond-grid pattern along the body, representing scales, and fluted notches along the outer perimeter. The dragon's head is stylized with a large circular eye and a curved snout characteristic of Hongshan culture revival pieces. Regarding condition, there is visible surface wear, grime accumulation in the recessed carvings, and minor pitting on the edges. The overall craftsmanship shows traditional lapidary techniques with irregular hand-carved incisions rather than modern precision machining. While the style is Neolithic/Archaic, the surface patina suggests it may be a later 20th-century reproduction or 'archaistic' piece rather than a period artifact. No visible maker's marks or signatures are present, which is typical for this type of lapidary work.
