Item:222431756202Nephrite Jade Ceremonial Spear Head 7 1/4".. Carefully carved symmetry and proportion on this 7 1/4" spear point There are two lizard like Ch'ih engraved on each side of the lower end.The bottom is hollowed out to hold a wood shaft but it does not appear to have been intended to serve a practical purpose.There are inclusions primarily on one side which are russet colored at inclusion lines and paler in color.There are 3 darker lines crossing the blade which appear to look like cracks but under light show as transparent veins of nephrite jade.It is 2" across the blade and almost 1" across at the shaft end.It weighs 190 gr or 6.7 oz.It is part of my large private collection most of which I am selling due to age.It was probably made for ceremonial purposes and not for battle--the socket end is bowl shaped and oval inside.Specific Gravity tested at 3.00SG on this item.
