This jade object shows the profile of a god-man head. Wearing a decorative hat, the ferocious image has long eyebrow, triangle eye, crooked nose, and a big mouth revealing three teeth. The lower end of this object was broken and it is presumed that it should have a long neck to be fixed on a certain article as a decoration.
