[Jade owl shaped pendant]

Height: 2.5 cm, width: 4.6 cm, thickness: 0.4 cm, Neolithic Age, Hongshan Culture
Green jade material, with earthy brown spots on the body. The jade owl is in the shape of spreading wings, with its head and sharp beak carved out on the front. There are several thick overcast lines on its wings and tail to indicate the feather pattern. Although the back is plain and plain, there is a tunnel hole with a solid drill. After the upper part is pierced, the nose is broken in the middle, and a tunnel hole is drilled again from the bottom. There are a circle of drilling marks and wear marks in the hole, which shows that this jade owl was worn for a long time at that time. The shape of this jade owl is similar to that of a jade owl unearthed from Tomb 1, Hutougou Cemetery, Fuxin County, Liaoning Province, which can be proved to be the jade of Hongshan Culture
