Description

The Han Dynasty jade pendant in the shape of the Chinese character “工” (gong) is a simple yet profoundly meaningful ornament. Its straight lines and balanced proportions showcase the symmetrical and dignified aesthetic of Han Dynasty jade artifacts. Such pendants were often used as waist ornaments or ceremonial accessories, symbolizing order and norms, and reflecting the Han Dynasty society’s emphasis on ritual and harmony. The overall carving is exquisite, and the polishing is delicate, making it a typical representative of Han Dynasty jade craftsmanship and cultural connotations.
