Jade Adz
Late Shang Dynasty, 1100 B.C. - The Western Zhou Dynasty, 771 B.C.
Jinsha Site Museum
Chengdu, China
This neatly made jade adz has a delicately sharpened cutting edge. The hole in its body seemed to be a decoration. Jade adzes unearthed in Jinsha are mostly made of fine material and by exquisite workmanship. Some of them are rather small, being made of leftover materials.
