Taxes, discounts and shipping calculated at checkout.


Green Chinese jade open-work carved item, could be part of a belt? It has a slot for a ribbon or similar. The motif is what appears to be a bee - except the wings are more bat-like. Whereas it has the stripes of a bee, it also has curled antennae or feelers on its head. So - what animal or insect is this? Both sides are carved the same. Could be mounted as a pendant.  Measurements: 4.2 cm high by 5.65 cm wide and 0.05 cm thick (5 mm). Excellent condition.
