Jade spoon

[Jade spoon]

Jade spoon, 16.5cm long. Lingjiatan Culture in the Neolithic Age
The spoon jade is grayish white, and the local color changes due to long-term burial. This spoon is broken into several sections when it is unearthed. The spoon is narrow and long, the head is like a boat, the pool is a concave curved surface, the handle is thin and long, nearly flaky, the surface is concave, the end is slightly wide, and there is a hole
This jade spoon has exquisite technology, smooth and flat edges, and good symmetry on both sides. The concave surface of the spoon head and handle should be made by the weight. Its technological level is not very different from that of jade carving in modern times. The handle of the spoon is long and can be extended far, but it is thin and easy to break. It must be used carefully, so it is not the tableware normally used. Its use needs further study
This jade spoon was unearthed from Lingjiatan tomb in Hanshan County, Anhui Province in 1987
