A DIVISION ONE PICTORIAL JADE BUCKLE

1 Large one piece early black jade depicting a dragon. Here is an early piece of hand carved Black Jade from China. The detail of the Dragon head and face is extraordinary and to find a jade buckle like this one was certainly a pleasurable one for the Lanier's. Black jade is not common to find especially in this magnificent condition. Although many call this black Jade because it is so dark it appears to be black it is indeed a deep green color. Dimensions: SM=Less than 3/4", Medium=3/4" to 1 1/4". Large=1 1/4" and above, extra large=1 3/4" and above Date or Era: DIVISION 1=PRE 1918 AND DIVISION 3 IS AFTER 1918 Condition Request Condition Report PLEASE NOTE: These buttons for the most part are antique and may have age related wear. We make every effort to point out any significant condition related concerns, but again they are antique and not new.
