A Shang to Warring States Period Jade Tiger-Shaped Pendant, circa 1600–221 BCE.
Carved from variegated grey and tan jade, this elongated pendant takes the form of a stylised tiger in motion, its body undulating with arched curvature and precise linear contours. Pierced with suspension holes at the head, centre, and tail, the piece likely served as a pendant or decorative fitting. The carving reflects the symbolic importance of tigers in early Chinese culture as protectors and spiritual guardians.
Approximately 6.5 x 2cm
