A Set of Two Chinese Archaistic Jade Axe Pendants, 55CD

This lot comprises two ceremonial jade axe ornaments. The left piece is carved from dark jade with mottled russet inclusions, featuring two perforations and notched flanges along the upper section. The right example is of yellowish-green jade with natural veining, decorated with an animal-mask motif on the haft and subtle linear mouldings on the blade. Jade axes symbolise authority, power and ward off misfortune in traditional Chinese jade culture. Both exhibit aged patina and weathered texture with an antique mellow polish. Dimensions: 2 pieces, 10 cm x 9.3 cm.
