Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period Blue Jade Dragon and Phoenix Hook Cloud Pattern Carved Wide Jade Comb

The jade comb has a regular shape, is dignified and elegant, with a plain back and a front decorated with cloud and grid patterns using shallow relief and engraving techniques. The patterns are appropriately simple and complex, giving a solemn yet agile feeling. Jade combs have a long history in my country, dating back to the distant Neolithic Age. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, people paid great attention to the beauty of jade combs. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, jade comb craftsmanship became more mature and the materials used were very particular. The handle of this comb is semicircular, with a wide outer portion carved with symmetrical double dragon and phoenix patterns. The teeth of the comb are in the shape of thin square columns that converge into points. It has a small shape, exquisite carving, auspicious meaning, and is a pleasure to appreciate. https://youtu.be/DL3f6SMDE28?si=dlLemepaK4u89gvW
