A Rare and Charming Yellow Jade Toggle of Song Dynasty
An old jade toggle was in very rare quality and in very charming patina. By an elegant cylindrical shape, the toggle's surface was smooth and in greasy feeling. But when touching parallely, the vertical carving vestige can be felt vividly. It is the typical characteristic which can be verified as from the results of traditional carving process. The nephrite yellow jades have long been a sought-after item for traditional jade lovers and connoisseurs of nowadays. For this piece, a yellow jade pebble was shaped and drilled in such good proportion. When adding with natural brownish jade tissues and light incursions, the jade toggle revealed its charming sheen so strongly that you would not resist but holding it in your palms and fondling it. From all the characteristics of an old date, we would say that it is really a rare chance to own it and adding it to your collections. Date: Song or Ming Dynasty(12th-15th century) Dimensions: 3.2cm x 2.2cm
