A superb example of early Chinese jade carving, this pendant takes the form of a slender dragon whose serpentine body makes a graceful loop. Deep grooves cut into the body give it the appearance of a twisted rope as well as enhance the impression of power. The sinuous dragon, with its curving body and snarling jaws\u2014a prevalent decorative motif in the late Eastern Zhou period\u2014was inspired by the art of the West, which the nomads of the Eurasian steppes brought to their Chinese neighbors.
