Here we have a gorgeous genuine ancient Chinese Warring States Period (476 - 221 BC) Eastern Zhou Dynasty glass pendant of a dragon.

The glass is a deep blue and is highly translucent. Held up to the light the color is an intense azure blue but lying flat or without light passing through it it appears very dark and deep - a deep midnight blue with little color present. It has been shown in various conditions standing up, lying flat and against a hand to show this affect where the color is more intense held to the light.

It is intact and without repair. There is appropriate devitrification and evidence of burial present commensurate with the age of the piece.

It measures 2 9/16" tall by 2 1/2" wide by 1/4" deep approximately (65mm x 63mm x 6mm)

This piece is an extraordinary example of glass from the period and of exceptional rarity.

An Authenticity Report is included for your records.

The photos form part of the description. Like all colors there is a color variation that occurs in different lighting conditions both inside but also outside, even the time of day can make the color appear a little different. We do our best to show colors as we see them. Color perception is highly individual and some people can perceive more colors than others, also colors can appear somewhat different on different screens and devices due to variations in screen hardware and device display settings.
