The source describes this as white Hetian seed jade (nephrite) with yellow skin, some of it cleverly used for a beast-face shield. Zhong Kui stands with a stern, commanding expression, his brows and beard dense, one hand on a sword and the other on a pearl, with armour across his body. Listed at 78 x 50 mm and 162.8 g, the third dimension is confirmed per piece. Ask Yufu Jade for in-hand and daylight photographs before ordering.
