A nice and interesting polished Nephrite amulet in the shape of a Cicada, Ming style.
The pendant carved in a rarely seen brown-black stone. This fine nephrite pendant comes from an old German Collection of handpicked Chinese jade carvings of insects from different periods, from the Neolithic to 20th. century. The cicada was carved in a Ming Dynasty Style, but possible from Qing Dynasty, we're not certain.
Size: 6,2 cm.
Condition: Choice and intact, fine wear.
Ex. Collection of a German Doctor in Münich, aquired before 1990.
