This incredible jade artifact is about 5,000 years old. It was carved by an artisan of the Hongshan Culture. These people lived in the region that is today Inner Mongolia and the Liaoning Provence of China about 4,500 - 2,200 BC, when this region was a temperate rain forest. No other culture has left a more thorough record of their culture in jade. Their history is literally written in jade. It staggers the mind to study Hongshan jades and realize that these stone age people were so adept at carving skills and so highly imaginative in their art carvings. This fascinating jade artifact clearly shows that China's choice of both pigs and fish as symbols of prosperity have their roots in neolithic times. T is a wonderful totem statue that pesents itself very well. It is very solid and has light to moderate surface erosion and calcination. It weighs about 1-1/3 pounds and measures about 4-7/8 x 4-1/2 x 2-1/4 inches.
